How Vive Adolescent Care Is Restoring Hope for Families and Teens in Southern Utah

For many families, finding the right mental health support for a struggling teen feels overwhelming, even isolating. The road is often paved with uncertainty—appointments that lead nowhere, programs that don’t fit, and the haunting fear that things may never get better.

But just off Hidden Springs Drive in St. George, Utah, there’s a place where that fear begins to fade. Where licensed clinicians, educators, and caregivers come together with one mission: to help adolescents find strength, build resilience, and rediscover who they are.

That place is Vive Adolescent Care—a residential treatment center for teens ages 12 to 17 that combines world-class clinical expertise with a structured, compassionate approach to adolescent mental health care.

Here, healing isn’t an abstract concept. It’s a structured path, led by licensed professionals who are deeply invested in each teen’s well-being and long-term success. Parents often walk in with heavy hearts and walk out weeks later with something they hadn’t felt in a long time: hope.

The Need Is Real—and So Is the Solution

Across the country and here in Southern Utah, young people are facing unprecedented mental health challenges. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and behavioral issues have become more common, but access to high-quality care—especially care that is evidence-based and developmentally appropriate—remains limited.

Vive was founded to change that.

Instead of sending teens to facilities out of state or placing them in environments that feel cold or clinical, families now have a local option rooted in professionalism, compassion, and community.

A Professional Environment Built for Healing

Vive Adolescent Care is a licensed, therapeutic residential treatment center that combines structure, clinical rigor, and individualized attention in a warm, supportive environment.

Each teen receives a customized treatment plan overseen by a team of licensed therapists, psychiatrists, registered nurses, academic coordinators, and 24/7 residential staff. From the moment a student arrives, their care is guided by a team that understands the complexity of adolescent development—and the power of consistency, trust, and skilled intervention.

Therapy isn’t just something that happens once a week at Vive. It’s woven into the fabric of each day, with a blend of individual, group, and family sessions. Licensed professionals lead trauma-informed, evidence-based programming designed to address everything from emotional dysregulation to identity development to self-esteem.

And it doesn’t stop there.

Teens continue their academic education on-site with licensed teachers and academic coaches, ensuring that their progress in school isn’t lost while they work on their mental health.

Family-Centered, Clinically Grounded

One of the most powerful aspects of Vive’s model is its emphasis on family systems. Weekly family therapy, parent coaching, and regular check-ins ensure that parents are not only informed, but supported. Healing happens most sustainably when everyone in the family has the tools to grow together.

“Our approach is based on relationships,” says Vive co-founder Michael Jorgensen. “We create an environment where adolescents feel supported, families feel heard, and growth happens at every level—clinical, emotional, academic, and social.”

By integrating clinical best practices with personal care, Vive offers something rare: a program that is both deeply professional and profoundly human.

Community-Rooted, Nationally Respected

While Vive serves families from across the country, its roots are proudly local. Located in the heart of Washington County, the center is part of a growing movement in Southern Utah to bring world-class mental health care closer to home.

Organizations like the St. George Area Chamber of Commerce have praised Vive’s role in addressing the teen mental health crisis. Local leaders, educators, and families have seen firsthand the difference it makes when young people have access to compassionate, structured treatment that works.

Real Lives, Real Impact

One parent recently shared:

“Vive gave us our daughter back. She came into the program anxious, withdrawn, and hurting. She left with confidence, insight, and the tools to manage her emotions. We’re so grateful.”

These stories aren’t outliers—they’re the norm at Vive. Teens who once struggled with overwhelming emotions begin to rebuild. Families who felt like they were falling apart start to heal together. And a future that once felt uncertain begins to take shape, one healthy day at a time.
