No waitlist. No travel. Licensed therapists—not facilitators—guiding small groups of teens through evidence-based treatment they'll actually engage with.
We built Kin to solve the problems we saw with traditional IOP programs.
Most IOPs have 4-8 week waits. Your teen can start at Kin within 48 hours—because mental health crises don't wait.
Every group is led by a licensed therapist (LCSW, LMHC, PhD)—not unlicensed "facilitators" reading from a script.
Interactive activities, polls, and challenges designed for Gen Z. This isn't your parent's therapy—and that's the point.
No 45-minute drives each way. No coordinating with school pickup. Your teen gets intensive care from their safe space.
IOP fills the gap between weekly therapy and residential treatment.
1 hour/week

For acute crises
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Not having to drive 45 minutes each way during an already stressful time was a relief. She got better care without leaving her room."
"The peer support aspect is incredible. My daughter finally found kids who understand anxiety like she does. They text between sessions."
"The flexibility with school was a game-changer. He could attend IOP after school and still keep up with his classes and extracurriculars."
We removed every barrier between your teen and treatment.

Research consistently shows virtual IOP is equally effective as in-person treatment for teens. In fact, many teens feel more comfortable opening up from their own space—leading to better engagement and outcomes. Our 87% completion rate (vs. 50% industry average) reflects this.
Three key differences: (1) Every group is led by a licensed therapist (LCSW, LMHC, PhD)—not unlicensed facilitators. (2) We have no waitlist—most teens start within 48 hours. (3) Our curriculum is designed specifically for Gen Z, with interactive elements that keep teens engaged rather than zoning out.
The program runs 8 weeks with 3 hours of group therapy per day, 3 days per week (9 hours/week total). Sessions are scheduled after school hours (typically 4-7 PM) so your teen stays in school. We also include weekly individual therapy sessions and optional parent support groups.
Resistance is normal—and expected. Our therapists are trained to work with reluctant teens. The interactive format (games, polls, challenges) helps break the ice, and the peer connection often becomes the reason teens want to show up. We've found that even skeptical teens tend to engage once they realize other kids in the group genuinely understand their struggles.
You'll receive weekly progress updates from your teen's treatment team, including specific talking points to continue therapeutic work at home. We also offer optional parent coaching sessions and peer support groups—because we know this is hard for the whole family, not just your teen.
Kin treats teens (ages 13-18) with anxiety, depression, self-harm behaviors, school refusal, and related conditions. IOP is appropriate when weekly therapy isn't enough but residential treatment isn't necessary. If you're unsure, our clinical team will assess during the intake call and refer you elsewhere if we're not the right fit—no pressure.
