Is teen IOP the right level of care?
IOP sits between weekly therapy and inpatient treatment: more support, less life disruption.
| Care option | Support intensity | Life disruption | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly therapy | Low to moderate | Low | Mild symptoms or maintenance care |
| Virtual teen IOP | High | Moderate | When weekly therapy is not enough but home/school stability matters |
| Inpatient / residential | Very high | High | Immediate safety risk or need for 24/7 monitoring |

What is a virtual teen IOP?
A virtual teen intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a structured mental health program delivered online multiple days per week. It offers more support than weekly therapy while your teen stays at home and in school.
How quickly can my teen start?
Most families can complete consultation and intake quickly, and many teens can start in under 48 hours once clinical fit and scheduling are confirmed.
Will this work with school?
Yes. Sessions are designed to fit around school, and your teen can receive intensive support without leaving home or falling behind from daily travel.
What conditions do you treat in your teen IOP?
We support teens facing anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, school refusal, social struggles, and related challenges through evidence-based care plans.
Do you take insurance for teen IOP?
Many families use insurance. The Kin team verifies benefits and authorization steps so families understand coverage and next steps before treatment begins.
Your teen's next cohort starts soon. Spots limited to 8 per group.
