Who Is Our IOP For?

Our IOP is for adults who are high-functioning on the outside, but overwhelmed on the inside. If you’re facing any of the following, we can help:

Persistent anxiety, panic, or depressive symptoms

Major life transitions (job loss, postpartum, divorce)

Burnout or emotional numbness

Struggling to function despite ongoing therapy

Recently discharged from a higher level of care

Why Choose Us?

We know there are plenty of IOPs out there, but not all care is created equal. Here’s what makes our program different:

Boutique feel, big impact

We’re a private practice, not a hospital system. That means small groups, more attention, and care that feels human.

you are

Whether this is your first time in treatment or your tenth, you’re welcome here.

 

Evening sessions that 
fit real life

Our IOP was built for working professionals, caregivers, and busy adults.

 

Real tools, not just talk

Evidence based DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills you’ll actually use. 

Insurance accepted, 
without sacrificing quality

We work with Florida Blue, BCBS, Cigna, AETNA, Optum and United.

 

What is an IOP?

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) gives you more than once-a-week therapy without requiring a hospital stay. You’ll attend structured group and individual sessions, learn powerful coping tools, and return home each day with real support in place.

How We Help You

An IOP is often the right fit if:

  • Traditional therapy isn't enough
  • You’re struggling to maintain daily functioning
  • You’re trying to avoid hospitalization but need structure
  • You’re transitioning out of inpatient care

Here for you.

What Do Patients Do at an IOP?

An intensive outpatient program may sound imposing, but while the therapy is intensive, the program itself is very welcoming. At With, we make our IOP a comfortable, judgment-free space – think less of a doctor’s office and more of a cozy living area. Here’s what most of our patients experience at our IOP.

Follow a Structured Schedule

IOPs typically involve a schedule of group therapy sessions and activities that take place several times a week for a few hours each day. This structured approach ensures that patients receive consistent and focused care. What each patient’s schedule looks like depends on their unique needs, the severity of their disorder, their response to treatment, and their level of commitment. You can be a part of an IOP for anywhere from two weeks to three months. Our IOP is generally three to four days a week and three hours per day.

Group Therapy

One of the core components of IOPs is group therapy. These sessions provide a supportive environment where patients can share their experiences, learn from others, and develop a sense of community. We want to help patients build a support system by connecting them with other people who are going through similar journeys. It can help them feel less alone and foster a sense of belonging. Feeling heard and understood can have a tremendous positive impact when managing your mental health.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective methods for treating anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. This method is a psychotherapeutic approach that recognizes the impact our thoughts and feelings have on our behavior. For example, if there is a promotion at work that you really want, but struggle with depression or anxiety, you may think to yourself, “I can’t do this. I’m not good enough.” Negative thoughts like these may cause you not to apply for the position at all. CBT is designed to help you challenge these thoughts so you can learn to gain control over them and your resulting actions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Like cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy is a useful tool to manage mood disorders. Dialectical comes from the word dialectic, which basically means to investigate the truth of matters. In a dialectical behavior therapy approach, patients are encouraged to consider both perspectives of an argument or situation. Many people with mood disorders can get caught up in binary thinking. It’s rather the best-case scenario or worst-case scenario, all or nothing. This approach helps them recognize that opposing perspectives can coexist and both be valid, helping them manage intense emotions, accept change, and navigate any conflicts.

Professional Mental Health Guidance

In addition to group therapy, patients meet with a licensed and certified mental health professional. They will have a one-on-one consultation with patients to determine which approach will work best for them. At our IOP, you can count on them to guide you through each of your sessions and check in with you on your mental health journey.
