Discover the Guidelight clinical difference

 Through collaboration with thought leaders from the top psychiatric and psychological institutions in the country, we have created unique and comprehensive clinical programming for our progressive day programs.

Evidence-Based Clinical Program

Guidelight provides evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, ACT) developed with Harvard/Mass General Hospital/McLean best practices.

Emphasis on Skills

The clinical curriculum has placed a priority on skills-based training for patients.

Specialized tracks for patients with shared experiences

LGBTQIA+ , Active Duty/Military/First Responder, Female-Identifying with trauma & College students.

Highly Trained Clinicians
All therapists receive additional training in specific client populations, evidence-based therapy modalities, and intermediate levels of care.
structural collaborative care

Collaboration is built into the foundation of our programs through multiple points of clinician engagement and regular progress reports pushed to provider practices. This creates opportunities for input in the individualized treatment plan. Collaborative discharge planning is a highlight of this and ensures a successful step down in care that should keep the patient progressing.

Outcomes study conducted by top university

Guidelight recognizes that outcomes are patients’ lives and we treat them accordingly. We have engaged one of the top universities in the country to help us study our outcomes and learn from them as an organization.
