A safe & therapeutic space for adolescent girls 13-17
Group home for girls in Dallas, Texas
We Accept Insurance
Weekly therapy and direct access to her team
Real-life skills that turn new breakthroughs into daily habits
Family focus with resources for parents and siblings
Many Dallas parents reach out when they feel like they’ve become a policeman instead of a parent. If outpatient therapy has stalled and crisis mode at home feels constant, you need more than a group home—you need a clinical reset. We help girls move from just surviving to thriving with a conviction that they are enough.
Why Dallas families look for group homes for teens
Families often reach out when they see
- Anxiety, panic, or deep sadness
- Self-harm or unsafe decisions
- Substance use or vaping
- School refusal, failing grades, or frequent discipline issues
- Explosive arguments or a teen who shuts down completely
Roots Renewal Ranch offers a nurturing alternative to traditional group homes. Our live-in program supports girls 13–17 in Texas with structure, therapy, school support, and a family focus.

What makes Roots different from other group homes?
Unlike standard group homes, Roots uses a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model. We move through 8 intentional clinical focus weeks, tackling the shame and vulnerability behind substance use or anxiety.
With proven tools like EMDR and ART, we help your daughter process trauma so she can put down the maladaptive tools she’s been using to cope.
- A steady daily schedule with clear expectations
- Therapy and skill-building built into each week
- Mental health and substance use support
- School support so she can keep moving forward
- Transition planning and aftercare support
For girls who need more than outpatient care
Our program supports girls 13–17 who may be dealing with
- Anxiety, depression, trauma, or intense stress
- Big emotions, impulsive choices, or shutdown
- Ongoing conflict at home that feels constant
- Substance use (often tied to emotional pain)
- School struggles, isolation, or risky peer influence
Many families searching for group homes for girls in Dallas are dealing with more than one issue. We build a plan that matches what your daughter is actually facing.
What support looks like at our live-in group home ranch
In our program, girls live onsite and follow a steady schedule. The goal is not supervision but growth.
Support focuses on
- Coping skills and emotional regulation
- Healthy routines for sleep, movement, and meals
- Better decision-making and boundaries
- Communication skills with family and peers
- A clear plan for returning home and staying stable
This approach is designed for families who want real progress, not short-term compliance.
Therapy and real-life skill-building
Healing at the Ranch is much more than “talk therapy.” Through our occupational therapy program, girls practice the life skills they need to stay stable after they leave. From grocery shopping to caring for Alfredo the donkey, your daughter practices real-life skills every day. These habits help her build the confidence and focus she needs to succeed when she returns to Dallas.
Medical and psychiatric support when it is needed
Some girls need extra support for sleep, mood, anxiety, or focus. Parents often feel relief knowing help is available.
- Nurses onsite daily
- Early psychiatric assessment
- Ongoing medical oversight as needed
- Medication support for safety and stability
- Testing when clinically indicated (labs or other evaluations)
- Balanced, dietician-approved meals
If you are comparing group homes in Dallas for your daughter, this layer of support makes a difference.
A typical day at the ranch
Every day is built on the “healthy mind platter,” a balance of focused work, physical activity, and down time. From Morning Huddle to Higher Power Hour and Roots Reads, we create a rhythm that calms the nervous system.
Our executive chef prepares scratch-made, dietician-approved meals, which the staff eats alongside the girls to build a sense of community and family.
Over time, this structure helps your daughter
- Respond instead of react
- Build confidence through small daily wins
- Practice coping skills until they feel natural
- Handle stress without shutting down
Family involvement for Dallas parents
You are the expert on your daughter. While she is here, you are an active part of the treatment team. This includes our Family Trail Guide (a digital library of tools for you), weekly family therapy, parent workshops, and our immersive Family Intensive Weekends.
We ensure that by the time she graduates, you and your daughter have a shared language and a clear plan to restore peace to your home.
We want your daughter to improve. We also want her Dallas home to be healthier when she returns.
School support and educational coordination
Parents often worry about grades, credits, and falling behind. We build school time into the weekly schedule.
Support may include
- Help using her home school’s online platform
- Options like credit recovery or virtual schooling when needed
- Weekly updates to parents (and coordination with schools when appropriate)
Outdoor activities and hands-on growth
Confidence often comes back when a teen succeeds at hard things . Along with therapy and school, girls at the ranch may participate in
- Ropes courses and team-building
- Gardening and animal care
- Archery, hiking, and recreation
- Service projects and supervised outings
- Practical skills through structured activities
These experiences help girls feel capable again. They build confidence, connection, and healthier coping.
Life skills that help her return home stronger
We focus on real-life skills that support a smoother return home:
- Healthy routines and hygiene
- Communication and conflict resolution skills
- Boundaries and decision-making
- Responsibility and follow-through
- Practical problem-solving
We make sure your daughter returns home with tools, not just hope.
