COMPREHENSIVE, INDIVIDUALIZED CARE

​

We offer a full range of outpatient services tailored to your unique needs:

​

  • Individual Therapy – One-on-one sessions focused on personal growth, emotional regulation, and targeted mental health support

  • Family Therapy – Strengthening communication, resolving conflict, and building healthier family dynamics

  • Group Therapy – Therapist-led groups that provide connection, shared experience, and skill development in a supportive environment

  • Educational Treatment Groups – led by local psychiatrists to help current clients better understand their medications and diagnoses.

 

Whether you are stepping down from a higher level of care, or just working to find your middle path, our licensed clinicians utilize evidence-based approaches, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral strategies, and trauma-informed care, to help clients build lasting skills and resilience.

​

INSURANCE & ACCESSIBILITY

​

We work with most major insurance providers, helping make high-quality care more accessible. Our team can assist with verifying benefits and explaining your coverage so you can focus on your progress

​

SKILLS-BASED & SUPPORT OFFERINGS (Self Pay)

​

In addition to clinical therapy services, we offer self-pay programs designed for personal development and general wellness. These services are not intended to diagnose or treat a specific mental health condition and do not require insurance or a formal diagnosis.

​

  • Skills Classes (DBT-Informed) – Practical tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness

  • Support Groups – Safe, guided spaces for connection, encouragement, and shared experience

These offering are ideal for individuals seeking growth, education, or additional support outside of traditional therapy

A BALANCED APPROACH TO HEALING

At The Middle Path, we emphasize balance—between acceptance and change, support and accountability, structure and flexibility. Whether you’re seeking clinical treatment through insurance or exploring personal growth through our skills-based programs, our goal is to meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.

Since The Middle Path’s inception in 2016, the turtle has been the symbol most used and associated with our facilities. Turtles are a wonderful representation of how dialectical behavior skills can be used. Among the many examples of the way turtles mimic the use of DBT skills is that when a turtle is on its back, it begins to suffocate and as a response it uses all of its supports to persistently self-right. A ‘Bale’ is the term used to describe a gathering of turtles. The Bale Group Outpatient Therapy program is designed to be just that, a gathering of therapists, peers and supporters designed to help you self-right.
