Florida's virtual IOP for teens 14-18 with anxiety, depression, and school refusal. Most families start within 48 hours.
Not ready yet? That's okay.
Most families pay $0 — we accept all major insurance
We built Kin to solve the problems we saw with traditional IOP programs.
We don't treat adults. We don't treat young children. We strictly specialize in the unique developmental needs of adolescents and teens ages 14-18.
No interns. No "facilitators." Every single group is led by a licensed therapist (LCSW, LMHC, PhD) with specific expertise in teen mental health.
We ditched the boring worksheets. We use polls, interactive challenges, and digital-first communication that actually holds a teen's attention.
Mental health crises don't run on a schedule. While others have 6-week waitlists, your teen can start their cohort within 48 hours.

"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.

Within 24 hoursYour teen joins their peer group—6-8 teens facing similar challenges, led by a licensed therapist. Treatment starts with evidence-based CBT and DBT skills.
Within 48 hoursWe track outcomes obsessively because your teen's progress is what matters.
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's adolescent IOP treats teens ages 14-18 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.
No waitlist. Start this week. See if Kin is right for your family.
