About Pathlight Mood and Anxiety
Located on Spruce Street in Denver, Pathlight Mood & Anxiety Center provides specialized care for children and adolescents aged 8 to 17 dealing with mood, anxiety, and trauma-related challenges. The center offers several levels of programming, including residential treatment, day treatment, and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), so families can choose the structure that best fits each stage of recovery while ensuring consistent, whole-person support.
Treatment is guided by evidence-based clinical methods, strengthened by active family participation and whole-person services that address both emotional well-being and physical health. Patients may work with evidence-based approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), and exposure therapy. Together, these modalities help young people build practical coping strategies and improve resilience. Expressive art therapies are also integrated to encourage self-expression and support mental health growth.

Backed by a multidisciplinary team, the center focuses on helping patients move toward sustained recovery through proven practices and forward-thinking care.
