Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Fort Worth

About this facility

Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center offers a full continuum of care for adolescents ages 12+ and adults with mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders. Their treatment options include 7-day-per-week partial hospitalization program (PHP) and 3-day-per-week intensive outpatient program (IOP). Clients and their families are given the necessary tools to achieve lasting behavioral change. Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center provides multidisciplinary care under the leadership of internationally recognized experts with a combined 200 years of experience. Their team includes a psychiatrist who sees each client twice a week for medication management within the PHP, a nurse, master’s-level clinicians who conduct group sessions, and a primary therapist. Upon admission, clients are paired with a dedicated primary therapist. This therapist conducts three individual sessions weekly and facilitates additional sessions involving the client's chosen support network.The team uses modalities that include dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), as well as incorporating family sessions and group work. Guided by Pathlight's compassionate team, clients grow in their ability to understand their mind and body using both evidence-based therapies and complementary methods like meditation, yoga, and mindfulness. For trauma-related disorders in particular, Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center uses a form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) called exposure and response prevention and behavioral activation to help relieve the learned avoidance, anxiety, and fear that often develops following a traumatic event. Pathlight also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients create a rich and meaningful life while also being able to accept the pain that inevitably comes with life. In an effort to support each client’s journey to recovery, the team collaborates with existing outpatient teams to discuss treatment history and goals, and touches base weekly to give progress updates. If a client does not have an existing outpatient team, Pathlight clinicians can make referrals for therapists and psychiatrists. Pathlight’s support for clients and families does not end at the time of discharge–rather, the treatment team carefully develops a personalized discharge plan, and offers several aftercare services and alumni support programs.
