Center for Families—A Treatment Center for Teens and Families
Center for Families’ mission is to support teens and their families by identifying and healing the primary mental health issues underlying emotional struggles and high-risk behaviors. We treat individuals ages 13–18 who are experiencing depression, anxiety, social isolation, trauma-related symptoms, disordered eating and poor body image, and teen substance use.
With three programs in Pennsylvania, Center for Families is a distinctive and exceptional adolescent treatment program. We take a whole-person, family-centered approach that addresses the root causes of mood and co-occurring disorders. While we focus on improving the lives of our teen clients, we also prioritize supporting the entire family to create lasting positive change.
Center for Families’ Nourish Program
Our newest PHP program is specialized for teens experiencing mental health struggles that are accompanied by disordered eating. Located in West Chester, PA, the Nourish program treats primary mental health concerns while ensuring teens get the care they need to improve their relationship with food, eating, and their body. Nourish provides the same gold-standard PHP treatment that our community has come to expect at CFF, with an accompanying emphasis on dietary assessment and monitoring, as well as groups focused on self-esteem and body acceptance.
We’re Proud of Our Licensed and Dedicated Team

Our staff have a wide range of degrees and experience, including licensed clinicians, psychiatrists, family therapists, recovery therapists, art therapists, music therapists, adventure therapists, nurses, registered dietitians, nutritionists, care coordinators, teachers, and private tutors.

Our Facilities
Our three Pennsylvania programs are located in the towns of Malvern and West Chester. We also have an outpatient location in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for teens and adults. Our program locations, along with our facilities and their amenities, play a key role in our integrated model of care, and have distinguished CFF as one of the top mental health and substance use treatment resources providing sustainable, long-term healing.
