About Yellowbrick
Yellowbrick focuses on providing specialized care for young adults aged 16 to 30, along with their families, employing the latest therapeutic approaches. The center has developed a clinical model grounded in research that incorporates advancements in neuroscience, innovative therapeutic methods, life skills development, and wellness strategies. They offer comprehensive treatment options that cater to a variety of diagnoses and levels of care, ranging from residential services to partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient programs (IOP), outpatient care, and comprehensive support services. Yellowbrick addresses various mental health conditions including bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, thought disorders, ADHD, eating disorders, PTSD, and OCD.
Upon arrival, clients undergo an initial assessment which identifies their unique strengths and challenges. Yellowbrick features multiple programs such as a Trauma Recovery Program, a Rewards Alternative Program, and a Soma-Self program. The Rewards Alternative Program IOP includes educational and experiential groups aimed at motivating individuals to find fulfillment through healthier choices instead of substance use and compulsive behaviors. The Soma-Self IOP offers supportive groups for those struggling with body image issues, including eating disorders, body dysmorphia, trauma history, gender dysphoria, and more. Additionally, assisted meals are available at both the Residence and the Consultation & Treatment Center on a daily basis.
Situated in Evanston, Illinois, on the North Shore of Chicago, Yellowbrick occupies a four-story apartment building featuring three three-bedroom apartments and a two-bedroom garden apartment, accommodating up to 15 residents during their treatment journey. There are also community spaces designated for group activities and recreational purposes. Yellowbrick fosters a secure, empowering, and challenging atmosphere where emerging adults can develop the necessary skills and competencies to navigate their lives successfully.
