Who We Help: Conditions We Treat

Our trauma-informed Intensive Outpatient Program supports adults living with anxiety, trauma, depression, mood concerns, relationship difficulties, burnout, and stress-related conditions.

Who we support

Concerns we work with

These experiences often overlap. You don't need to know your diagnosis or have the right words to call us, and a clinical assessment helps us decide together whether our program fits.

Anxiety

Persistent worry, panic, a body that stays on alert, avoidance, and trouble sleeping or concentrating. We pair nervous system regulation skills, such as breath work, grounding, and body awareness, with CBT-based tools for worry and avoidance.

Trauma

Intrusive memories, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, or reactions that feel out of proportion to the present. Care is trauma-informed: no one is required to retell their story, and stabilization comes before deeper work.

Depression

Low mood, loss of interest, fatigue, and withdrawal from people and routines. Treatment combines CBT-based skills for stuck thought patterns with gentle, practical steps back toward connection and self-compassion.

Mood concerns

Mood swings, irritability, emotional intensity, or difficulty settling after a hard moment. Skills in distress tolerance, radical acceptance, and regulation help build steadier ground between sessions.

Relationship difficulties

Cycles of conflict, withdrawal, people-pleasing, or trouble trusting others. Our curriculum builds boundaries, communication, trust, and self-advocacy, and group work offers a safe place to practice them.

Stress-related conditions

Adjustment difficulties after major changes, and the lasting effects of prolonged stress. Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed; structure, skills, and support can help them find their footing again.

Burnout

Emotional exhaustion, detachment or cynicism, and feeling ineffective after long stretches of pressure at work, in caregiving, or at home. We help people calm their nervous system, set boundaries, and rebuild a sustainable pace.

How we treat it

Skills, safety, and support working together

Our care is built on regulation first, understanding second, and integration third. See all therapies and approaches or learn about our clinical model.

  • Group-based IOP

    Three structured group sessions per week, built around our clinician-designed curriculum, The Healing Ascent™.

  • Somatic and mindfulness practices

    Body-based regulation, trauma-informed yoga, and mindfulness help people steady their nervous system before they work on thoughts and patterns.

  • Trauma-informed CBT

    Explores the links between thoughts, emotions, and behavior without shame or forced disputation, building cognitive flexibility and skills for lasting change.

  • Radical acceptance

    Reduces the struggle of fighting what is. Acceptance isn't approval; it opens the door to self-compassion and emotional flexibility.

  • Motivational interviewing

    A collaborative, nonjudgmental style of conversation that helps you explore your own reasons for change and build confidence at your own pace.

  • Psychoeducation

    Plain-language teaching about the nervous system, stress, and survival responses, so symptoms make sense and feel less shameful.

  • Integrated health

    Through our partnership with ViviHealth, we pair clinical care with context about daily wellbeing, so mind and body are considered together.

  • Collaborative care

    With your consent, trusted outside providers join treatment team check-ins at week 1, week 4, and discharge.

  • Medication management

    If you don't have an established prescriber, we can provide medication management as part of your care. If you do, they stay in charge and we coordinate with them.
