Valley Behavioral Health - Children, Youth, & Family Services

Located in Salt Lake City near I-15 and just minutes from Liberty Park, Valley Behavioral Health’s Children, Youth & Family Services treats autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), trauma, anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues in children and teens. The team provides outpatient, day treatment (PHP), and after-school care. The Carmen B. Pingree Autism Center delivers Utah’s most advanced autism care using science-based, proven methods. Therapists use applied behavior analysis (ABA) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support emotional growth, improve behavior, and build lasting skills. Children receive individual, group, and family therapy along with social skills and coping groups. Certified clinicians work directly with families, offering training, resources, and crisis intervention to extend progress beyond the clinic. Programs like Adolescents in Motion (AIM) and Kids Intensive Day Services (KIDS) help youth avoid hospitalization and remain in their communities. Acute Children’s Extended Services (ACES) offers after-school care for ages 5–12. During the school year, the team provides academic support through local school partnerships, and in summer, kids join field trips and activities. In Tooele County, clinicians deliver services directly in schools to expand access and support.
