When weekly therapy isn't enough for your teen.

If your teen has been in weekly counseling but is still struggling — with their emotions, their behavior, school, or the people they love — our Teen Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) may be the extra support they need. It's structured treatment several evenings a week, built around school and family, with you involved every step. You don't have to figure this out alone.

You don't have to wait for a crisis to get your teen help. And IOP isn't right for every situation — if your teen is in immediate danger, experiencing psychosis, or needs detox or round-the-clock care, a higher level of support is safer, and we'll help you find it.

Not sure where your teen lands?
Call us. We'll tell you honestly, even if the answer isn't our program.

Depression Anxiety & panic Trauma & PTSD Life transitions Grief & loss Stress & burnout Big emotions and outbursts Struggling with a life change Limited progress in weekly therapy

This program is for teens who are still going — still showing up to school, still home each night — but who are having a harder and harder time. If weekly counseling helped some but your teen is still struggling, IOP gives them more structure and support while they stay at home and in school whenever possible.

That's completely okay. A confidential assessment helps determine the right level of treatment. If IOP isn't the best fit, we'll help guide you toward services that are.
