    Virtual IOP Highlights

    Our comprehensive approach ensures you receive the benefit of multiple therapeutic modalities facilitated by expert clinicians, and join a supportive community of peers within a caring and connected online environment. Each level of care employs a combination of group & individual therapy, case management, and psychiatry. Some of the evidence-based modalities are:

    Individual therapy

    Individual therapy allows clients a private, one on one experience with a licensed therapist to establish a treatment plan, identify the psychodynamic and historical roots of current illness, gain insight, and set future goals.

    Group therapy

    Group therapy reduces the stigma associated with mental illnesses, provides a sense of community, eradicates feelings of isolation and loneliness, and establishes a support network of peers. Clients benefit greatly from listening to others, hearing feedback from peers, and experiencing that they are not alone.

    Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

    Cognitive behavior therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps patients understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behavior. CBT has been scientifically tested and proven to be an effective treatment modality for many disorders. This modality is focused on the present and is problem-solving-oriented. We utilize CBT to assist our clients in learning applicable skills that they can benefit from for the rest of their lives. These skills include identifying misperceptions and distorted thinking, changing behavioral patterns, and modifying beliefs about themselves, others, and the world.

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

    DBT is a cognitive-behavioral treatment initially developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and is recognized as the gold standard psychological treatment for this population. In addition, research has shown dialectical behavior therapy to be an effective model for treating a wide range of other disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders. DBT is actively woven into our curriculum to assist all clients in learning distress tolerance for difficult emotions more effectively. 

    Somatic Therapy

    Somatic Experiencing was developed to address the effects of trauma. After experiencing a traumatic event, our nervous systems are triggered into action. Humans, though, have a tendency to override our natural way of regulating our nervous system with self-defeating feelings (i.e., shame, doubt, fear, and judgments) that cause many to be stuck in this traumatic event and unable to move past it. Somatic experiencing practitioners (SEPs) work with the client to restore the body’s ability to self-regulate and achieve balance. By addressing the somatic sensations that the client experiences, a SEP works to help the client fully process the trauma safely.

    Psychiatric evaluations and medication management

    Clients receive a formal evaluation before entering our virtual IOP to determine if virtual treatment is the appropriate level of care and if medication or medication changes are indicated. Physician consultations may continue throughout the program as needed or to mark progress.

    Aftercare programming

    Aftercare is an important part of our virtual IOP program. All clients are provided with a personal aftercare plan that facilitates long-term healing. Our support for our clients does not end on the day of their discharge. We stay strong in our commitment to supporting them in their aftercare once they graduate. We obtain a release from each willing client to be able to follow-up with them periodically after treatment to ensure they are still participating in their prescribed aftercare plan. 

    Medical Leave/Disability

    Upon admission, all clients are assessed for medical leave or disability eligibility. Medical notes are provided for those who qualify.

    Confidentiality

    We understand that, as working professionals, confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Our staff is expertly trained to prevent any disclosure of information related to treatment without consent and full release by the client. Employers and certifying boards may ask about mental illness, but as a treatment center we are under no obligation to report anything unless illness severely impairs one’s ability to work.
