Parents who upgraded from weekly therapy

We loved our therapist but 50 minutes wasn't enough. IOP gave us daily support during the hardest time.

Karen S., Mom

My son would make progress in therapy then fall apart all week. The daily structure of IOP changed everything.

James T., Dad

I felt like a failure when therapy wasn't working. Turns out we just needed a higher dose of treatment.

When to Level Up from Weekly Therapy

Sometimes weekly therapy is like trying to fill a pool with a garden hose. Your teen needs more intensive support to make real progress.

Time to consider IOP when:

  • βœ“ Months of therapy with minimal progress
  • βœ“ Teen gets worse between sessions
  • βœ“ Therapist suggests higher level of care
  • βœ“ Family in constant crisis mode

The math is simple:

vs. Weekly therapy

!
50 min/week: 168 hours between sessions
βœ“
Our IOP: 9+ hours/week of active support

vs. Crisis management

βœ—
Wait til next week: Problems pile up between sessions
βœ“
Daily support: Address issues as they happen

Common questions about 'stepping up'

Can we keep our current therapist?

Absolutely! Many teens do IOP while maintaining their regular therapist. We coordinate care and the approaches complement each other perfectly.

How do I know weekly therapy isn't enough?

If you're seeing minimal progress after 2-3 months, increasing crisis between sessions, or your therapist suggests more support - it's time to consider IOP.

Will my teen feel like they 'failed' at therapy?

We frame it as 'leveling up' - like needing a stronger dose of medication. It's not failure, it's getting the right amount of help.

How is this different from switching therapists?

It's not about finding a 'better' therapist - it's about increasing the dose of support. Your current therapist is likely excellent; your teen just needs more.
