Gentle Supportfor early healing

A young person's brain is incredibly adaptable, making childhood years a powerful time for healing. We use gentle, deeply researched clinical approaches designed specifically to help young people find stability today while protecting their long-term growth and emotional well-being.

Our Pediatric Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) cohorts share core group programming so children at both levels of care share core pathways. PHP participants receive added structure, dedicated academic study groups, and higher clinical intensity on top of that shared content.

Pediatric Partial Hospitalization (PHP)

5 Days / Week • 4 Hours / Day (2:00 - 6:00 PM)
  • Time commitment: Monday through Friday, 2:00 to 6:00 PM.
  • Program extension: Built on core IOP with dedicated academic support and deeper clinical processing.
  • Dedicated study group: Includes a dedicated study skills group to support academic goals.
  • Clinical intensity: Higher intensity designed for children who require maximum therapeutic support while staying home.

Pediatric Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

3 Days / Week • 3 Hours / Day (3:00 - 6:00 PM)
  • Time commitment: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, 3:00 to 6:00 PM.
  • Gentle structure: Designed for children transitioning down from higher care or who need more than weekly sessions.
  • Clinical Focus: Blends CBT skills, social communication, and play therapy to build emotional resilience.
  • Social integration: Focuses heavily on peer relationships and structured social learning.

Clinical Level of Care Notice

Although the Pediatric PHP and IOP cohorts share core group programming, the two remain distinct levels of care. PHP placement reflects greater clinical acuity and a higher required intensity of service. Level-of-care determinations follow CASII and applicable medical necessity criteria, and each child's documentation will reflect their assigned level.
