Mission Statement

Embracing Life with Courage and Joy

Cascade Academy is a 26 bed residential treatment center treating teen girls between the ages of 13 to 18 suffering with severe anxiety, OCD and OCD related issues located in Midway, Utah (45 min from the Salt Lake City airport). The residential treatment program's approach utilizes traditional outcomes-based treatment like - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) - Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) - Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) - Motivational Interviewing (MI). In addition to using evidence-based therapeutic approaches, Cascade Academy uses a parallel medical assessment to address genetic issues related to anxiety. Cascade Academy works with a local geneticist to determine which diet, exercise, and medical interventions will work best for each girl and her genetic profile. Cascade Academy is licensed by the State of Utah.
