What a session looks like

The practical shape of the work.

The program is typically three days a week, 3 hours per session, for several weeks — adjusted to clinical need. The structure includes group therapy, skills-focused content (CBT, DBT, ACT), and individual check-ins. Telehealth-first scheduling is available, with in-person sessions available in Pasadena.

Admission is by clinical assessment. The intake conversation is also where we make sure IOP is the right level of care — sometimes weekly therapy is enough, sometimes a higher level is appropriate. We will be honest with you either way.

Clinical assessment

We confirm IOP is the right level of care. Sometimes weekly therapy is enough; sometimes a higher level is appropriate. We are honest with you either way.

Program weeks

Three days per week, 3-hour sessions, with stable peer cohort. Group, skills, and brief individual check-ins.

Step-down

When clinically ready, you transition to weekly individual or group care. The handoff is intentional.
