Care that helps you stabilize while staying connected to home, work, and school. Our IOP Program in Santa Ana provides structured, multi-hour therapy several days per week to address symptoms while preserving your daily routine. Treatment blends individual therapy, skills-based groups, and psychiatric care with options like TMS, Spravato, and ketamine-assisted therapy when clinically appropriate. Sessions are led by licensed clinicians using CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, with EMDR available to target trauma symptoms. Couples and family involvement are offered to strengthen support at home.
Flexible tracks let you choose morning or afternoon sessions, with teletherapy available across Southern California. Our team coordinates with your existing providers and uses measurement tools to track progress and adjust your plan. You will have clear goals, weekly updates, and access to supportive case management. We serve Santa Ana and nearby communities including Huntington Beach, Irvine, Anaheim, and Riverside County. Call 949-625-0564 to speak with our team about next steps.
Most clients attend three to five days per week for about three hours per day. A treatment day often includes skills groups focused on mood regulation, anxiety reduction, and interpersonal effectiveness, followed by process-oriented therapy with peers. You will meet individually with your primary therapist at least once weekly to personalize goals and practice new skills. Psychiatric visits are scheduled to monitor medications and consider options such as TMS or Spravato when indicated. Case management supports school and work coordination so you can keep your responsibilities on track.
Participation can be in person, via secure telehealth, or a hybrid model to fit your schedule. We use practical home assignments to reinforce skills between sessions and prepare you for real-world challenges. Family or couples sessions can be added to strengthen communication and support. Our clinicians collaborate closely to ensure continuity of care with outside providers. To review your schedule options and availability, call 949-625-0564.
What to Expect Each Week
Clients come to IOP for persistent depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, bipolar disorder, personality-related distress, and psychotic disorders managed in outpatient care. Many benefit when weekly therapy alone is not enough or after a recent hospitalization when step-down structure is needed. Our intake includes a comprehensive assessment of symptoms, safety, and daily functioning to match the right level of care. Decisions consider home stability, motivation for treatment, and medical needs, including whether TMS, Spravato, or ketamine-assisted therapy may help. We coordinate with families and outside providers to build a safe, effective plan.
IOP is designed for people who can participate safely in the community while needing more support than traditional outpatient visits. The program offers predictable structure, frequent therapeutic contact, and rapid skill-building without overnight care. PHP may be recommended when more hours or monitoring are required. If IOP is appropriate, we align goals with your schedule and supports. For a same-week assessment, contact our Santa Ana team at 949-625-0564.
Our Santa Ana program treats a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, PTSD, borderline personality disorder traits, and schizophrenia managed in outpatient care. We also support autism-related emotional regulation needs, eating disorders with outpatient coordination, and suicidal ideation when safety can be maintained in the community. Specialized tracks are available for veterans, active military, and pregnant or postpartum women. Couples participation can be integrated to strengthen relationship support. Care plans are tailored to your goals and updated as you progress.
Our admissions team can verify your insurance and help determine if IOP is the right fit.
