Hear from our patients

I am a 64 year old wife, mother and grandmother who suffered from high anxiety and depression. Over the course of the four weeks in the IOP, I was able to engage in sessions with multiple therapists each of whom had a unique specialty and viewpoints. These sessions helped me to understand “how” the mind develops. Each day, we had more “free form” group discussions (under the guidance of a therapist.) These candid discussions helped me develop interpersonal skills and also enhanced my level of empathy. And lastly by combining talk therapy with yoga, art therapy, and family counseling the program delivered a wholistic approach. I truly believe that the IOP accelerated my on-going recovery.
