Adult IOP (18+)

Who it’s for: Adults needing more than weekly therapy but less than inpatient/residential care—common concerns include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and co-occurring substance use.

• Skills & process groups (CBT, DBT, ACT, relapse-prevention if indicated)

• Weekly individual therapy

• Psychiatric evaluation/medication management as needed

• Integrative nutrition consult and safe-use review of herbs/supplements

• Case management, safety/crisis planning, and coordinated care with your providers
  
  

Schedule options: Daytime and evening tracks (3–4 days/week, ~3 hours/day).

Your first week:

• Intake evaluation with Erica Washington, MA, LCPC, LMHC, NCC

• Baseline assessments (PCL-5, PHQ-9, GAD-7; ADHD Checklist & Autism Quotient as indicated)

• Nutrition assessment with Krisha Wilson, ND, LMT, CMT

• Psych-med assessment with Aasta Knox (Peace Psychiatric Services, Homewood, IL) when needed

Outcomes: Measured every 2–4 weeks; personalized step-down plan on discharge.

Adolescent IOP (Ages 13–17)

Who it’s for: Teens who need structured support for anxiety, depression, trauma, school stress, or emerging substance-use concerns—while staying connected to home and school.

• Developmentally tailored skills & process groups

• Weekly individual therapy plus required family sessions

• Psychiatric evaluation/medication management as needed

• Nutrition consult with attention to growth, energy, and sports/activities

• School coordination (with consent) and collaborative care planning
  
  

Schedule options: After-school/evening tracks (3–4 days/week, ~3 hours/day).
