The Dorm Washington D.C.

The Dorm Washington, D.C. is a mental health treatment organization focused on empowering young adults (ages 18–30) to lead independent, resilient lives. Since 2009, this family-owned program has offered a uniquely personal and community-based approach to care. Their partial hospitalization (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) support a clinically diverse group with flexible, individualized treatment that fosters long-term growth and connection. An Individualized and Flexible Approach Clients at The Dorm collaborate with expert clinicians to build personalized treatment plans tailored to their goals. Services include evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement therapy (EMDR), and cognitive processing therapy (CPT), with an emphasis on building life skills and independence. The team treats the whole person—beyond symptoms or diagnoses—to support long-term healing and progress. The Dorm is in-network with Aetna, Wellfleet Student, and works with other eligible managed care plans. Heal in an Urban Setting Located in the heart of Washington, D.C., The Dorm provides care in an urban environment that mirrors the real-life settings where young adults often work, study, and live. Their city-based care approach allows clients to continue pursuing academic and career goals alongside treatment. The intimate, welcoming campus offers a strong sense of belonging, where peers connect between groups and staff members know clients by name.
