Bricolage Behavioral Health helps teens ages 11–18 build the skills to handle anxiety, depression, behavior challenges, trauma responses, and co-occurring substance use (dual diagnosis). Located in Flower Mound, just minutes from Double Oak, our programs are built to help teens make healthy changes that you can see at school, home, and with friends.
In Denton County, nearly 1 in 5 youth ages 6–17 has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, and close to 1 in 10 has been diagnosed with depression, a reminder that these struggles are common and worth addressing early.
When your teen is struggling, life in Double Oak can feel smaller overnight. The same short drives, the same school routines, the same “we’re fine” conversations at dinner, but something beneath the surface has shifted. Maybe your teen is more irritable. Maybe they are shutting down. Maybe you are getting that tight feeling in your chest every time your phone buzzes. We can help.
Bricolage is a child and adolescent program with separate middle school and high school groups. We offer partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP), plus step-down support when appropriate.
Our approach is different in a few important ways.
Bricolage is also Joint Commission-accredited, reflecting high standards of safety and quality.
Some families wait for their child’s mental health symptoms to pass, hoping the symptoms are a phase. Others try to handle it with willpower and consequences. But mental health does not work like a discipline problem.
If your teen’s nervous system is in overdrive, they can’t “just calm down.” If they are shut down, they can’t “just open up.” They need tools, repetition, coaching, and support that translates to real life.
Because Bricolage is located in Flower Mound, Double Oak families can access structured treatment without feeling like they are sending their teen far away. Your teen can get meaningful support while staying connected to home and the people who matter.
Here are some of the most common challenges we see in teens near Double Oak:
A helpful lens is this: teens aren’t lacking character. They are lacking skills that work under pressure. It’s easy to be calm when nothing is happening. The real test is Tuesday at 10:30 p.m., when homework is late, a friend group is blowing up, and your teen’s nervous system is already running hot. That’s the moment we train for.
Parents often ask, “Is this bad enough for a higher level of care?”
A better question is, “How long has this been going on, and is it getting better with what we’re doing now?”
The brain wires what it repeats. If your teen has been practicing avoidance for months, avoidance becomes the default. If they’ve been practicing blowups, blowups become the default. If they’ve been practicing numbing out, that becomes the default.
Early support matters because it interrupts the loop before it hardens into identity. Your teen is not “the anxious one” or “the angry one” or “the problem.” They are a teen whose brain has learned a pattern. Patterns can change, but they change faster with structure, repetition, and coaching.
Bricolage offers multiple levels of care so treatment fits your teen’s needs, not a one-size plan.
During intake, we complete a full biopsychosocial assessment to determine the right level of care for your teen and your family.
| Program | Time Commitment | Best Fit For |
|---|---|---|
| Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) | 🕐3 days per week | Moderate symptoms, needs structure while staying in home routines |
| Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) | 🕐5 days per week | Higher severity, needs daily support and faster momentum |
If teens need more than weekly therapy, IOP is often a good fit.
With multiple sessions per week, IOP can help when:
This is where our whole-group engagement model really matters. When teens stay active in a group, they learn faster. When they learn faster, they start building momentum. Momentum is what families feel when they say, “We’re finally getting somewhere.”
PHP is the highest level of care we offer. It’s built for teens who need more consistent support to stabilize and make progress.
In PHP, teens attend structured programming during the day and return home in the evenings. They remain enrolled at their school, with support from our education liaison, while maintaining a full clinical schedule.
Partial hospitalization programming is often appropriate when:
We work with teens who are dealing with mental health concerns and, when relevant, co-occurring substance use.
Anxiety is not just worry. For teens, it often shows up as avoidance, perfectionism, reassurance-seeking, stomachaches, irritability, or “I can’t” reactions that seem to come out of nowhere.
With our anxiety treatment, we help teens build skills to:
Depression in teens can look like sadness, but it can also look like anger, numbness, low energy, or feeling stuck.
In Bricolage’s teen depression treatment, we focus on:
Behavior challenges often come from a mix of stress sensitivity, low frustration tolerance, impulsivity, and learned patterns. Trauma can add fuel, making the nervous system more reactive or more shut down.
We teach and practice:
When substance use is present alongside mental health symptoms, we treat it as part of the whole picture.
Many teens use substances because it feels like the quickest way to shut off anxiety, panic, insomnia, shame, or emotional pain.In dual-diagnosis treatment, we focus on replacing that shortcut with skills that actually work, and we involve families, so support continues outside of sessions.
If you believe your teen is in immediate danger, call 911. If you need urgent support for suicidal thoughts or a mental health crisis, you can call or text 988.

Teens in Lake Dallas face a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges — some new, some longstanding. We support teens with or without formal diagnoses, including those unsure why they’re struggling but know something feels “off.”
Common conditions we treat include:
If your teen’s concern isn’t listed, our Lake Dallas team can still help — no issue is too small or too overwhelming for support.
We provide formal diagnoses when helpful, but we never rely on labels alone. At Bricolage, treat the why by focusing on:
A diagnosis may explain symptoms, but it doesn’t define your teen’s future. Skills, support, and consistent practice do.
Families near Double Oak often come to us after trying other facilities, with little to no improvement. Strategies such as weekly therapy, school support, a new routine, “punishments” or consequences, more talks, and cutting screen time are no longer working.
Sometimes those steps help. Sometimes they don’t, because the issue is not a lack of effort. The issue is a missing skill set.
Here’s why our model tends to work for the right teen:
Teens stay engaged.
Engagement drives learning. Learning drives change. Whole-group engagement keeps teens participating rather than checking out.
We teach skills, and we practice them.
A coping skill is like a sport. You don’t learn it by hearing about it. You learn it by doing it, messing up, and practicing until it works when it counts.
We focus on the “why,” not the label.
We look at what your teen is actually struggling with: grief, fear of failure, social anxiety, stress tolerance, emotional overload, conflict patterns, impulsivity, or shutdown.
Medication-light and collaborative.
Some families want medication involved, and some do not. We respect that and work with you to develop a plan that aligns with your teen, your values, and your goals.
Family involvement is built in.
Teens don’t live in a vacuum. We include families through regular communication and family sessions, so changes continue at home.
If you’re worried about your teen in Double Oak, you do not need to wait for a crisis to get support. Teen therapy and rehab are available closeby. The goal is not to “fix” your teen. The goal is to help them build skills that make life feel manageable again, and to help your family get back to steadier ground.
