Student Life at Telos
Check it out! Participating at Telos is a path to a much better future. Since words can’t describe how cool it can be, we will let the pictures do the talking.
Telos
Residential Treatment Center
At Telos, Music Therapy is a weekly group on both our North and South campuses — and it's one of those programs that quietly surprises everyone. Students come in carrying things they don't quite know how to say. And instead of asking them to say it, we hand them an instrument.
That's the beauty of it. Through music, students explore real therapeutic issues in a way that feels less like therapy and more like expression. No pressure to find the perfect words — just the freedom to feel and create.
Our Music Therapist brings both expertise and genuine joy to every session, creating a space where healing doesn't have to be heavy.
Parents come to us hoping their child will open up. What they don't always expect is to hear them playing their way through it.

Welcome! Reggie Wilson
Please welcome Reggie Wilson to the team as our South Campus Executive Director!
Reggie Wilson, LCSW, is a seasoned clinician with 25 years of dedicated experience supporting teens and families navigating mental health challenges. His work has a particular emphasis on transracial adoption, and he brings deep expertise rooted in his Master's degree in Social Work, Bachelor's degree in Sociology, and a certificate in Criminology — all from the University of Utah.
Throughout his career, Reggie has worked across a broad spectrum of clinical environments, including residential treatment, intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, group homes, and private practice. Most recently, he served as Clinical Director at Oasis Ascent for three years, during which he was recognized with the Sharon Moore Award for his exceptional commitment to mental health care. At the heart of his practice is a belief in challenging negative core beliefs and honoring the essential role families play in the healing journey — and he finds his greatest fulfillment in watching teens grow into brighter futures.
When he's not at work, Reggie can be found on the golf course, fly fishing, or exploring Utah's stunning outdoors — a reflection of the same balance and well-being he champions for those he serves.

When parents ask us what makes Telos different, we tell them it's the moments that happen outside the therapy room.
This week, our Recreational Therapy team took to the trails on mountain bikes. Experienced riders and first-timers alike, our students hit the hills together — navigating challenges, soaking in the views, and discovering what they're capable of.
Mountain biking is more than adventure. The adrenaline, the focus required to navigate a trail, and the grounding effect of being in nature all work together to support mental well-being in deeply therapeutic ways.
For parents searching for a treatment center, we know you're looking for more than a place that manages symptoms. You're looking for a place that helps your teenager rediscover themselves. At Telos, that happens on the trails, in the therapy room, and everywhere in between.

When you're searching for the right place for your child, you want to know they'll be truly cared for — and that their growth will go far beyond the therapy room.
Recently, our students had the chance to volunteer at a local animal shelter, and what we witnessed was something special. From feeding and cleaning to simply sitting with animals who needed love and attention, our students showed up with compassion, responsibility, and a genuine heart.
This is the kind of experience we intentionally weave into our program — because healing isn't just clinical. It happens when a young person discovers they have something meaningful to offer the world. When they feel the weight of responsibility and rise to meet it. When a small act of kindness reminds them that they matter and so do the lives they touch.
For many of our students, moments like these are turning points. They build empathy, a sense of purpose, and a connection to something bigger than themselves.
If you're looking for a program that will challenge, support, and give your child the chance to rediscover who they are, we'd love to share more about what life at Telos looks like.
