Intensive Therapy for Mental Health: What an IOP Is and How It Helps

Intensive therapy for mental health

What is an IOP?

Our intensive outpatient program is designed for those who are experiencing considerable distress, anxiety, depression, or interpersonal struggles. It offers a structured curriculum that can be an effective alternative to hospitalization. Beyond the core program, we offer continued options for ongoing care to support long-term healing. Our IOP can also serve as an aftercare program following a higher level of treatment. To best meet the needs of our clients, treatment is grouped by stage of life.

IOP for young adults

Individuals ages 18 to 25 who are struggling with mental health challenges that are keeping them from finding independence from their parents, succeeding in school, or building healthy self-esteem may benefit from our IOP. In this program, individual therapy is combined with group therapy, meditation, trauma-informed yoga, and life skills training. It may be paired with family therapy and sessions with a support therapist when appropriate.

IOP for adult professionals

Our IOP for adult professionals is tailored to high-achieving individuals seeking to manage their health, well-being, and work-life balance. High-pressure professions can compound workplace challenges and interfere with personal relationships. In these cases, we work with clients through group therapy, individual therapy, skills training, and more to help them reach long-term wellness.

Our approach to an IOP

No matter the age group, our IOP uses a psychodynamic approach, which is widely considered a holistic, whole-person approach that focuses on the client's emotions, perspectives, and life experiences.

Our compassionate, master's-level clinicians provide intensive care while allowing clients to continue with their normal work and academic activities, guiding them toward long-term healing by equipping them with skills for daily life and offering aftercare support across the Ethos Wellness continuum of care. Virtual therapy options are also available to assist clients of all ages.
