AnxietyAnxiety IOP for adults, by video, after work.
A virtual intensive outpatient program for anxiety and panic. Groups Monday to Friday, 5:30 to 8:30 PM Pacific. Fifteen group hours a week plus a weekly individual session.
Structure five nights a week.
An IOP is a step above weekly therapy and a step below a hospital. Fifteen group hours a week, plus one individual session. You sleep at home. The clinical screen decides whether outpatient care is the right level for you.
Two different programs.
New York and New Jersey
Mental health IOP. Anxiety treated on its own, with clinicians licensed in your state.
California
Substance use and co-occurring mental health, treated together. DHCS certification 191663AP: outpatient at ASAM 1.0, IOP at ASAM 2.1, ambulatory withdrawal management.
Anxiety and the drinking that follows it.
Alcohol quiets anxiety for an hour and raises it the next morning. In California the same team treats both at once. No second program that never calls the first.
Evenings, so the day stays yours.
Groups
Monday to Friday, 5:30 to 8:30 PM Pacific, by secure video. Fifteen group hours a week.
One on one
A weekly individual session. Optional in-person intensives in California.
Licensed clinicians, small evening groups.
The therapy
CBT, exposure-based skills and relapse prevention, run by licensed clinicians. Practice between sessions is part of it.
The people
Working adults in one cohort, five evenings a week. No reintroducing yourself every session.
What people ask first.
Is an IOP too much for anxiety?
It depends on how much of your week anxiety is taking. The clinical screen sets the level of care, and outpatient therapy is the answer for some people.
I get panic attacks on video calls. Will group work?
Tell us on the screen. Cameras, participation and pacing are part of what your clinician plans with you in the first week.
What about my medication?
Our medical director, Charles Carpenter, MD, reviews what you already take and coordinates with your prescriber. We do not start or stop a medication on our own.
Will my employer be told?
No. 42 CFR Part 2 protects substance use treatment records, and nothing goes to anyone without your written consent.
What will it cost?
We are out of network with commercial PPO plans. We read your plan the same business day and send the estimate in writing before your first session. Not Medicaid or Medicare today.
How soon can I start?
Intake is usually the next business day after the benefit check.
