Refer teens who need more structure than weekly therapy

Virtual IOP and outpatient programs for adolescents — coordinated with existing outpatient providers when releases allow.

Coordinated handoff

When to refer

  1. 01

    Continuity with your practice

    Patients can often keep their weekly outpatient therapist during step-up planning — we discuss continuity during assessment.

  2. 02

    Communication cadence

    With a signed release, we share enrollment status and progress markers at the cadence your practice prefers.

  3. 03

    Clear clinical boundaries

    We do not replace inpatient, PHP, or emergency services — and we say so plainly when a higher level of care is safer.

Refer when a teen ages 12–17 needs more clinical intensity than weekly therapy, is safe enough for home-based care, and can participate in secure video sessions in California. Common pathways include step-down from higher care, stalled progress in weekly therapy, school avoidance, and family systems needing structured multi-modal care.

We provide free consultations for families, insurance verification support, and clear communication back to referring clinicians when a release of information is in place. We do not replace inpatient, PHP, or emergency services.
