Evening Virtual Outpatient IOP Mental Health Treatment Program in Los Angeles, California

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavior therapy is a form of psychotherapy that helps you understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behavior. CBT has been scientifically tested and proven to be an effective treatment modality for many disorders.

This modality is focused on the present and is problem-solving-oriented. We utilize CBT to assist you in learning applicable skills that you can benefit from for the rest of your life. These skills include identifying misperceptions and distorted thinking, changing behavioral patterns, and modifying beliefs about themselves, others, and the world.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a cognitive-behavioral treatment initially developed to treat chronically suicidal individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and is recognized as the gold standard psychological treatment for this population.

Research has shown dialectical behavior therapy to be an effective model for treating a wide range of other disorders such as substance dependence, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and eating disorders. DBT is actively woven into our curriculum to assist you in learning distress tolerance for difficult emotions more effectively. 

Somatic Therapy

Somatic Experiencing was developed to address the effects of trauma. After experiencing a traumatic event, our nervous systems are triggered into action. Humans, though, have a tendency to override our natural way of regulating our nervous system with self-defeating feelings (i.e., shame, doubt, fear, and judgments) that cause many to be stuck in this traumatic event and unable to move past it.

Somatic experiencing practitioners (SEPs) work with you to restore your body’s ability to self-regulate and achieve balance. By addressing the somatic sensations that the client experiences, a SEP works to help you fully process the trauma safely.

Psychiatric Evaluations and Medication Management

You will receive a formal evaluation before entering our evening virtual IOP to determine if virtual treatment is the appropriate level of care and if medication or medication changes are indicated. Physician consultations may continue throughout the program as needed or to mark progress.

Aftercare 

Aftercare is an important part of our virtual IOP program. You are provided with a personal aftercare plan that facilitates long-term healing. Supporting you does not end on the day of your discharge. We stay strong in our commitment to supporting them in their aftercare once they graduate. We obtain a release from each willing client to be able to follow-up with them periodically after treatment to ensure they are still participating in their prescribed aftercare plan. 

Medical Leave/Disability

Upon admission, you are assessed for medical leave or disability eligibility. Medical notes are provided for those who qualify.

Confidentiality

We understand that, as working professionals, confidentiality is of the utmost importance. Our staff is expertly trained to prevent any disclosure of information related to treatment without consent and full release by you. Employers and certifying boards may ask about mental illness, but as a treatment center we are under no obligation to report anything unless illness severely impairs your ability to work.
