Experienced, Compassionate Experts Guiding Every Step of Your Son’s Journey

We’ve assembled one of the most experienced and dedicated teams in adolescent behavioral health here at Align. Our staff includes licensed therapists, psychiatric providers, academic specialists, case managers, and direct care mentors—all working together to support the healing, growth, and long-term success of young men ages 12–18.

We believe that strong relationships are at the heart of recovery. That’s why our team leads with warmth, integrity, and accountability—meeting each young man where he is and helping him become who he’s meant to be.
