Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program

Our adolescent IOP provides professional, evidence-based care for teens and their families who are navigating mental health challenges in New Orleans, Metairie, and surrounding areas. We address concerns such as:

  • Depression and anxiety
  • Substance abuse disorders
  • Self-esteem and identity struggles
  • Peer relationship challenges
  • Grief and loss
  • Family conflict

Treatment includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. Family participation is essential, with weekly parenting meetings to help caregivers build boundaries, validate emotions, and strengthen communication. This program is designed for teens who need more support than weekly therapy or who are transitioning from a higher level of care. We work alongside existing providers to maintain continuity, offering both in-person and virtual sessions to meet your family’s needs.

Services are available in Metairie, Baton Rouge, and virtually for the surrounding areas.

Adult Intensive Outpatient Program

Our adult IOP is designed for individuals ages 18+ who are dealing with mood disorders, anxiety, family conflict, substance misuse, or major life transitions. This intensive outpatient treatment in Metairie offers a blend of structure and flexibility so you can receive high-level care while continuing with work, school, and personal commitments. Treatment focuses on:

  • Developing autonomy and independence
  • Managing depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders
  • Building healthy coping strategies
  • Navigating family dynamics and life changes

Therapies include CBT, DBT, and MI, along with a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit. Weekly family therapy sessions are available to support relationship healing and communication. Whether you are stepping down from hospitalization or seeking a higher level of care than weekly therapy, our adult program offers a supportive environment for growth.
