We are offering programs for adults and adolescents who are experiencing emotional or behavioral problems that are significantly impacting their ability to be successful in the home, school, and/or work.
An intensive outpatient program provides a more frequent and concentrated level of care than typical outpatient therapy can provide. Adults or adolescents suffering from depression, anxiety or grief often lose the ability to function normally in their daily lives.
Sometimes these issues completely disrupt every day behavior. In those cases, the more frequent, focused care of our intensive outpatient program can help.
Levels of Care
PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION (PHP)
Service available at our San Jose clinic. Adult and adolescent programs are hybrid with both in-person and virtual options offered. 6 hours per day. Monday – Friday.
INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM (IOP)
Service available at our San Jose clinic. Adult and adolescent programs are hybrid with both in-person and virtual options offered. 3 hours per day. Monday – Friday.
What to expect?
Psychotherapy Groups
The Mental Health Programs utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches to support clients in their journey to recovery and wellness. In the IOP and PHP Programs, you receive services primarily through group therapy, and can also be set up with an individual therapist within the clinic if the client does not already have one.
Group therapy
Individual therapy once a week (as needed or requested by client/client’s family)
Couples/family (if appropriate)
Psychiatry And Medication Management
Psychiatry and Medication Management is offered to clients in our outpatient department as needed or recommended by the treatment team. At any point, clients can request a psychiatric evaluation with one of our psychiatrists or psychiatric nurse practitioners. If client’s already have a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner, our treatment team will collaborate with this existing provider as needed.

Hi! My name is Nataly Beck and I am the medical director of the intensive outpatient programs at LGTC. After completing my medical degree at Yale School of Medicine and then psychiatry residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, I moved to the Bay Area, where I have really enjoyed continuing to work with patients experiencing mental health symptoms. Working as a psychiatrist brings me much fulfillment as helping a patient’s mood, anxiety, ADHD, or eating disorder, among others, can help improve a person’s quality of life in a profound way.
During my years in practice as an adult psychiatrist, I have seen that there is a large gap in treatment for patients who have eating disorders. In my role with the eating disorders IOP, I am thrilled that our ED IOP has this incredible opportunity to contribute to ED patients’ wellbeing and recovery. It is fascinating to learn about the unique experiences and journeys of each of our ED IOP members, and I am elated to work alongside an excellent team of clinicians dedicated to this great mission.
Thank you for your interest in our program and we hope to have you join!

I received my Bachelor’s in psychology from California State University, Long Beach and my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling and Behavioral Medicine from Boston University School of Medicine. I entered the field to learn more about human behaviors and having been impacted by mental illness and substance abuse in my family. I love helping guide my clients towards becoming their best selves they wish to be and enjoy the process of working through challenges and honing in on resiliency I believe we all possess. The therapist-client relationship can provide so many learning opportunities for both parties and is a beautiful dance.
I have worked in a variety of treatment settings, including state inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient treatment. In graduate school, I focused my internship around individuals with eating disorders and since moving back to my native California, I have branched out to working with co-occurring disorders. Prior to joining Los Gatos Therapy Center, I spent 4 years working at a residential treatment center for men and women with co-occurring disorders, where I facilitated group, family and individual therapy. I have worked with substance abuse, serious mental illness, traumatic brain injuries, and trauma-informed care. I have familiarity with CBT, DBT, mindfulness, client-centered, Gestalt, and family systems therapy and love to try new approaches.
I love to bring creativity and energy into my groups and sessions, whether it be a transitional CBT group or an art therapy. Having grown up in horse country, I hope one day to become certified in equine facilitated psychotherapy and incorporate this truly healing experience into my practice.

It is my honor to work with the teens in our Adolescent IOP throughout their time in the program, along with coordinating care for all of our IOP clients. I am a compassionate, high-energy, and relentlessly enthusiastic mental health professional, drawing on over 2500 hours of supporting high-risk clients with a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and social issues. I am proud to serve all of our clients with equal respect and care, while taking into consideration and listening to the challenges our clients may face due to their race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, or socio-economic status. My persistent positivity is balanced by my willingness to be honest and realistic about depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses.
I strive to be an example for healthy living and coping with life’s stressors, and my genuine passion for staying active is just one way that I do this. In addition to my bachelor’s degree, I am also a Certified Personal Trainer, which allows me to tackle the mental health challenges our society faces on many fronts – emotional , behavioral, and physical.
