Newport Academy Outpatient

Maryland Mental Health Statistics

Maryland and the DC area—like the rest of the nation—face challenges in the arena of teen mental health, in particular an alarming spike in depression rates. In Maryland, the number of teens suffering from depression has doubled over the past decade, and one out of every 10 youth suffers from severe major depression.

Despite this growing need, however, Maryland families searching online for “family counseling Maryland,” “teenage therapy near me,” or “teen counseling near me” often find limited options and availability. As a result, in 2020, 23,000 teens in Maryland with major depression received no treatment at all.

Comprehensive Care for Teens in Maryland

Newport Academy Rockville’s outpatient program is helping to address this gap in mental healthcare in the state, by providing teens with integrated, evidence-based care while helping them to build supportive peer communities. Our model of care incorporates teenage counseling services, including teen depression therapy, with local family therapy and parent support groups, so both young people and parents gain tools for better communication and enhanced family harmony.

Our Newport Academy location in Rockville MD is conveniently located two blocks from the Twinbrook metro stop, with easy access to the nation’s capital and nearby Bethesda. Just 20 minutes from downtown DC and Georgetown, Rockville is in the heart of Montgomery County, a community known for its parkland and nature centers, with acres of meadows, gardens, trails, and forest preserve.
