Moapa Valley Ranch
Moapa Valley Ranch is a psychiatric residential treatment facility for girls ages 10–18 with mental health disorders and substance abuse challenges.
Despite past trauma and mental health struggles that have often included inpatient hospitalizations, our clients are resilient, creative, and capable of post-traumatic growth.
With our purpose-driven program that provides structure, supportive relationships, and compassionate care, we help our clients heal and build a brighter future.
Purpose, Peace, Healing.

The Ranch
A beautiful oasis for therapy, education, and finding purpose in nature.
Nestled along the Muddy River in the lush green landscape of Moapa Valley, our peaceful working ranch offers a place of healing and purpose.
Through caring for our animals, tending vegetable gardens, and nurturing pomegranate orchards, our clients learn to love life again and discover meaning through their contributions to ranch life.
Our clients have opportunities to bond with our goats, chickens, cats, and tortoises every day as they care for them.
Animals provide connection and comfort, and often lead to learning to repair and deepen relationships with peers and family members.
Therapy & Core Values
At Moapa Valley Ranch we believe in a holistic approach to treatment that encompasses emotional, physical, and spiritual healing and growth.
In addition individual, group, and family therapy, we provide many additional services that include:
Weekly psychiatric appointments
1:1 nutrition and fitness assessments
Social-emotional activities
Outdoor recreation
Job skills training and career exploration
Education
Many of our clients have struggled to engage in traditional classroom settings, and as a result have issues with school refusal, behavioral problems, and falling behind in classes.
Each client in our care will receive an academic assessment upon enrollment to determine the best option for their education. Through a combination of online and in-person instruction, we are able to meet each client where they are at.
Options include basic and foundational instruction, online education through Nevada Learning Academy, and high school and college courses through Pathways.
Our goal is to help each client gain confidence in their individual abilities, build on strengths, and make progress in areas they have struggled in, helping to build personal resilience.
