Banner University Medical Center

Set in downtown Phoenix off highway 10, Banner Behavioral Health's University Medical Center serves teens 12+ and adults with mental health or substance use disorders. As part of the Banner Health network, they serve clients in a hospital-like setting and leverage their organization network to serve clients with other healthcare needs in an integrated facility. This Banner location is open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.Flexible to Clients' Individual NeedsBanner can take a 12-Step or a non-12-Step approach to care based on clients' preferences and needs. Along with medication management, they offer traditional evidence-based talk therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).Special Considerations for AdolescentsWhile Banner uses many of the same therapies for teens 12-17 that they use for adults, Banner's teen program places additional emphasis on their family therapy, group dynamic therapies, and life skills therapies to help teens learn to cope with their circumstances and avoid risk-taking behaviors. Banner takes the client's age into consideration when considering visit and cell phone policies.
