Career Opportunities

Sometimes, traditional weekly therapy isn’t enough. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides adolescents and adults with a more structured, personalized level of mental health care—bridging the gap between traditional outpatient therapy and more intensive treatment.

Designed to provide the right level of support at the right time, our IOP helps individuals strengthen emotional well-being, develop practical coping skills, and restore everyday functioning while remaining connected to home, family, school, and work. The program meets at our Yorba Linda office.

Who Can Benefit from IOP?

IOP may be appropriate when traditional outpatient therapy is not providing sufficient support, but inpatient or residential treatment is not necessary.
Our IOP supports adolescents and adults experiencing emotional, behavioral, or psychological challenges that are significantly affecting their daily lives, including:

Emotional regulation, stress management, and coping skills
Communication and interpersonal skill development
Trauma-informed care and psychoeducation
Coordination with family members and other treatment providers, when appropriate and authorized

Getting Started: A Personalized Admission Process

We recognize that choosing the right level of mental health care is an important decision. Here’s what to expect as you get started.

Initial Clinical Interview

Admission begins with an initial clinical interview to better understand your concerns, treatment needs, and current level of functioning.

Finding the Right Level of Care

Together, we determine whether our IOP—or another level of care—is the most appropriate treatment option for you or your adolescent.

Planning Your Participation

Our team will discuss program participation, scheduling, and whether in-person or telehealth services are appropriate. In-person sessions take place at our Yorba Linda office.
