Program Overview

A Customized IOP for You

Welcome to The Anxiety Center's Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Programs. Our specialized, comprehensive treatment programs are designed for individuals whose daily functioning is significantly impaired by obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), complex anxiety, depression, self-harm, and trauma symptoms.

 

We offer three distinct tracks tailored to the unique needs of different age groups: children (ages 9-12)adolescents (ages 13-17), and adults (18+). Our IOP programs are grounded in evidence-based practices, with a strong emphasis on daily exposure and response prevention therapy (ERP), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). These approaches help participants tolerate and reduce symptom-related distress, empowering them to lead meaningful, enjoyable, and values-based lives despite their challenges.

​

We offer specialized tracks focusing on anxiety and OCD, depression, self-harm, and trauma. Our programs are designed to be flexible, allowing participants to schedule their IOP around their daily lives. We offer various times throughout the day, with intensity ranging from 9 to 15 hours per week, depending on individual needs. Our programs can be conducted in-person, virtually, or through a hybrid model.

 

At The Anxiety Center, we are committed to helping our participants work through their symptoms and pursue their personal values, demonstrating that a fulfilling life is possible despite uncertainty or discomfort. Join us in our Intensive Outpatient Programs and take the first step towards a brighter, managed future.

  • Why The Anxiety Center
    The Anxiety Center is a remarkable place in that it believes that its employees are its most valuable asset.

  • Treatment Programs
    Our center runs four separate programs. The first is our assessment program which conducts neuropsychological, psychoeducational, executive functioning, and autism evaluations. We focus on delivering accurate, timely, and accessible reports written for the family and directly linked to the child's or adult's intervention needs. Secondly, we have an anxiety program which treats the full range of anxiety and OC spectrum disorders. Treatment protocols in the anxiety clinic are heavily based on current research in exposure therapy, but include other cognitive behavioral strategies based on the individual needs of the patient. Thirdly, we have a mood disorders program which treats depressive disorders, bipolar spectrum disorder, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, suicidality and self-harm. Treatment in our mood program focuses on core CBT, mindfulness-based treatment, and behavioral activation. The level of integration of each facet depends on the child's needs and response to treatment. Finally, our co-occurring behavior program will take on cases of oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD, and autism related agression and social skills development. This program is grounded in behavior analysis with moderate integration of cognitive techniques when indicated. While we do welcome all applicants, it will be important to consider if our approach to treatment is a good match for your interest and skill set. We value the contributions of all those in the mental health field, but one of our core values is to deliver treatment that is firmly established in scientific research. If this value is in aligment with the way that you approach treatment and you are willing to engage in harnassing your skills in empirical treatment, then we believe you may be an incredible asset to our team.
