OUTPATIENT
Anxiety Services for Teens & Adults
OVERVIEW
Specialized care for teens and adults experiencing high anxiety
MHP’s Anxiety Services program is designed for adults and teens who are experiencing high anxiety that negatively impacts their life or relationships. This 8-week intensive outpatient program (IOP) consists of 7-9 hours of individual and group therapy per week (both virtual and in-person options available), as well as prescriber services and coaching.
Adult and teen cohorts
We offer separate programs for adults and teens so that participants feel comfortable sharing in a group setting and can practice skill-building with their peers. Parents of teens participating in our Anxiety Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) also meet separately to share and support each other.
Virtual and in-person offerings
Attendance is vital to success. Clients must commit to engaging in IOP sessions for the entire 8-week duration. We offer in-person, virtual, and hybrid options to help participants achieve the maximum benefit from the program.
Flexible scheduling
We offer flexible times for individual therapy throughout the week at one hour per session. Groups meet 2-3 times a week for two-hour sessions.
Evidence-based approach
By incorporating a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) model with exposure therapy, we work with clients to manage their anxiety by setting achievable and specific goals. We also provide psychoeducation around anxiety itself and practice coping skills.
SERVICES
How to manage and overcome high anxiety
Throughout our Anxiety Services, adults and teens learn how to manage high anxiety in both group and individual therapeutic settings.
Group therapy
Groups meet 2-3 three times per week. Guided by trained therapists, group activities consist of discussions on different anxiety-related topics and learning/practicing skills to manage anxiety.
Individual and family therapy
Individuals (and their parents or caregivers if the client is a teen) meet at least once per week with their therapist to get support with processing difficult experiences that might make it hard to manage their anxiety.
Post-program support
Graduates of the program can attend weekly drop-in groups to get support with skill maintenance and relapse prevention. Individual therapy is also available to all program graduates, as needed.
