Will my teen miss school?

No. Sessions run after school hours (typically 4-7 PM). Because we are virtual, there is no commute. Many teens report better focus once symptoms improve.

What if this isn't the right level of care?

Our clinical assessment determines the appropriate level of care. If your teen needs more support or less, we will tell you directly and help you find the right fit.

Virtual IOP for Florida teens 14-18

Your teen is struggling.
We can help them heal.

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is structured therapy several days per week while your teen stays home and in school. Our virtual program supports teens 14-18 with depression, anxiety, and related concerns.

My daughter went from refusing to leave her room to actually looking forward to her groups. I didn't think that was possible after everything we'd tried. The virtual format meant she could start immediately—no waitlist, no driving across town. Within three weeks, I had my kid back.

Parent Testimonials

Families who've been where you are

"The no waitlist was huge for us. We were in crisis and needed help NOW. Other programs quoted us 6 weeks. Kin had our daughter in a group by Thursday."

Robert T.

Father of 15-year-old

★★★★★

"I was skeptical about virtual therapy for my son. But he actually looks forward to sessions—says the other kids 'get it.' The therapists use games and activities that hold his attention."

Maria S.

Mother of 14-year-old

★★★★★

"3 weeks in and she's using the coping skills they taught her. She's talking to us again. I didn't think we'd see progress this fast, honestly."

Common Questions

Questions parents ask

Here are the questions parents ask most often.

Traditional therapy is usually 1 hour per week. IOP is structured care 3 days per week, about 9 hours total. It is a step up when weekly therapy is not enough and your teen needs more consistent support.

No. Our sessions run after school hours (typically 4-7pm). Because we're virtual, there's no commute. Many teens report better focus once symptoms improve.

Resistance is common, especially at first. Our clinicians are trained to work with reluctant teens, and the peer group format helps because teens connect with others their age who get it. Many teens open up once they feel understood by the group.

Virtual IOP can be as effective as in-person care for many teens, with the added benefit of easier access and no commute. We are happy to walk you through the research and our outcomes tracking on your call.

The typical program is 8-12 weeks, but we individualize based on your teen's progress. Some teens step down to less intensive support sooner; others benefit from a longer duration. We discuss timing with your family and adjust as progress evolves.

We create a comprehensive aftercare plan including step-down to less intensive services, connection to ongoing therapy, and alumni support groups. We don't just treat your teen and send them off—we build sustainable skills and support systems for long-term recovery.

Our clinical assessment determines the appropriate level of care. If your teen needs more support (like residential treatment) or less (like traditional outpatient), we'll tell you directly and help you find the right fit. We only accept teens we're confident we can help.

We serve Florida families and every group is led by a licensed mental health clinician with adolescent experience. We are HIPAA compliant, and we can share clinician credentials and family references during your call.
