When Weekly Therapy Isn't Enough

Editor’s note: If you’re seeing minimal progress after a few months of weekly therapy, it may be time to increase the level of care.

Signs your teen may need more support

• Symptoms are not improving after 2-3 months of weekly therapy
• Crises or severe symptoms between sessions
• School refusal or major daily disruption
• Your therapist recommends a higher level of care

Why IOP is the next step

IOP provides structured support multiple days per week while keeping teens at home and in school. It adds enough intensity to create momentum without the disruption of inpatient care.

What Kin offers

• 8-week program, 9 hours per week
• After-school schedule (typically 4-7 PM)
• CBT and DBT skills, group therapy plus weekly individual therapy
• Parent involvement with weekly updates and optional coaching
