Intensive Day Program

Designed for children, adolescents and young adults struggling with moderate to severe anxiety or OCD, this outpatient program provides comprehensive, continuous care for expedited and enduring recovery.

Clients in our Intensive Day Program typically have not progressed with weekly therapy on its own. Withdrawal from family, friends, school and favorite activities are common, as well as excessive technology use (social media, gaming) as an unhealthy coping strategy.

Our concentrated intensive outpatient program occurs Monday through Friday, over a 6-12 week time frame, depending on severity of symptoms. Each day consists of four hours of targeted individual and group work.

Program Includes:

  • Individual and group sessions with emphasis on exposure response prevention (ERP) as part of the cognitive behavioral treatment plan. Dialectical behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy may be incorporated based on client needs.
  • Parent support, education, and family therapy
  • Supportive advanced treatments including virtual reality, bio feedback, and EMDR
  • Education on thought patterns and the physiology associated with anxiety
  • Recovery tracking, a quantitative measure of progress over time
  • Help to manage fitness, recreation, and technology consumption
  • Collaborative care with your existing psychiatrist or our staff/affiliated psychiatrists

“I feel so grateful that we found this program. This is the first place our daughter felt that they were actually looking to help her and having the ability to do so. It’s the first time she felt ‘we are going to help you’ and they did.”

“I spend less hours ruminating, more hours outside of the home, and my outlook has shifted towards being hopeful and excited for the days.”
