At Ethos Wellness, we understand that some children require a more structured and intensive level of care than traditional weekly therapy can provide, while still benefiting from the comfort and familiarity of their home environment.
Our Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) for children are designed for those facing significant emotional or behavioral challenges who need comprehensive support to stabilize symptoms, develop coping skills, and foster long-term resilience. This level of care bridges the gap between inpatient residential treatment and weekly outpatient services, offering a balanced approach that promotes healing without requiring a complete disruption of daily life.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured therapeutic care multiple days per week, allowing children to receive comprehensive treatment while continuing to live at home, attend school, and maintain their daily responsibilities. This program is ideal for children with moderate to severe emotional or behavioral challenges, persistent depression, anxiety, or trauma. Our IOPs are designed to foster healing, provide structure, and help young clients regain control of their emotional and behavioral well-being.
One-on-one sessions with a dedicated therapist to address core issues and personal goals.
Structured group sessions that provide peer support and skill development in a safe, facilitated environment.
Active participation of parents and caregivers to ensure skills are reinforced at home and to support family-wide healing.
Education on emotion regulation, boundaries, resilience, and values, tailored to be developmentally appropriate for children.

At Ethos Wellness, our Intensive Outpatient Programs for children are strengths-based and personalized, with evidence-based therapies at the core. We integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, expressive arts, and somatic interventions such as yoga and meditation.
Our IOP offers a safe and supportive environment for children who are ready to engage in healing without leaving their homes or daily obligations. The goal is meaningful, sustainable progress in an empowering environment, fostering not only symptom relief but also personal growth and long-term resilience.
Ethos Wellness believes high-quality care should be both inclusive and accessible. Our IOP meets children where they are, with flexible scheduling and telehealth options that work around school and home routines. This level of care is often a crucial step for those transitioning out of higher levels of treatment, or for children experiencing a mental health crisis who need more intensive support than weekly therapy can provide.
Throughout the program, clinicians and families work together to develop meaningful, realistic goals, building a pathway toward healing and wellness while establishing a strong sense of personal agency and hope. We create safe, inclusive, and affirming spaces where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.
Our children's IOP is built on a structured, multi-phase model designed to guide young clients through a journey of restoration, transformation, and integration. Every plan is organized around goals that support both immediate stability and lasting change:
