Welcome to Plena Mind Center

Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Programs in the Chicagoland Area.

Our whole person approach empowers children and adolescents, ages 6 – 18, to actively participate in managing symptoms in the service of living their fullest life.

Family-Centered Mental Health Care for Children and Adolescents

Your child deserves personalized, compassionate care to support their mental health. We’re here to guide, empower, and ensure their long-term well-being. Uniquely small by design, Plena Mind Center is focused on providing highly personalized care and an unmatched patient experience.

Our Treatment Programs

At Plena Mind Center, we are devoted to delivering premier pediatric care, combining evidence-based treatment approaches customized to each patient and family in a warm and welcoming environment. Our structured PHP and IOP programs serve as a reliable extension of outpatient therapy, with a focus on evidence-based care and long-term outcomes.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our PHP is a full day program serving children, tweens, and teens who require more intensive services for mental health needs.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our IOP is an after school program serving children and adolescents who don't require full day programing.

Medication Assessment & Management

While not every child will require it, there are some cases where medication may be a part of your child’s optimal treatment plan.

Plena Parent Academy

This is a multifamily group facilitated by our licensed clinicians. This resource is available to our families during and after treatment.

Creating A Custom Treatment Plan Catering To Your Childs’ Needs

At Plena, we treat each child as an individual, providing specialized care that brings families together and fosters resilience.

We offer a renewed approach by treating children with a highly personalized plan that centers around the patient and family. We take into account your child’s internal and external worlds.

Our whole child approach ensures each participant receives an initial assessment from a licensed clinician and a thorough evaluation from our board certified child & adolescent psychiatrists. Our program includes group and individual therapy sessions. Your child’s unique treatment will be adapted based on their progress.

I could not be more impressed with the care [my child] received at Plena. The Plena team worked so well with us and his therapist. They listened to my concerns and developed tools that would work with our whole family. They are a pleasure to work with. [My child] is being discharged with tools he needs to manage his emotions. He is happy again and our whole family feels more connected. Our experience has been amazing at Plena and we are very grateful!
