Where to start
Our system of care was built to meet you where you are in your process of growth. We can increase or decrease the level of care to best support your needs.
Daytime
Partial Hospitalization
Our most intensive outpatient track. Structured daytime programming, home at night. For adults who need more than IOP can hold, but not 24-hour care.
Designed for
Stepping down from inpatient, or stepping up from IOP when symptoms or substance use are escalating beyond what weekly hours can contain.
Not for
Active medical detox, acute psychiatric crisis, or anyone who needs round-the-clock supervision.
Daytime
Intensive Outpatient
A structured core of group and individual work, running in eight-week cycles. The middle of our continuum. Clinically deep, with the rest of your day to live.
Designed for
Adults whose lives have room for midday programming and who need real frequency to move forward.
Not for
Anyone whose work or family obligations only allow evening attendance. See Evening IOP.
After-work
Evening Intensive Outpatient
The same IOP framework, after work. Built for professionals, parents, and anyone whose recovery has to fit a 9-to-5.
Designed for
Adults with steady daytime obligations who still need intensive, group-anchored care.
Not for
Anyone whose acuity calls for daytime structure. Evening IOP is the same intensity, not a softened version.
Flexible
Outpatient
Individual therapy and psychiatry at a sustainable cadence. The continuing-care step after PHP or IOP, or the right starting point for milder presentations with strong support at home.
Designed for
People stable in their daily lives, with a real support system, and a clear goal for the work.
Not for
Active substance use that needs containment, or symptoms that are disrupting daily functioning.
What we treat
Ten areas of focus. Most adults arrive with more than one. The work goes faster when we treat them together.
Mental Health
Generalized, panic, social, and phobia-related anxiety. The kind that doesn't go away on its own.
Major depressive episodes, persistent depressive disorder, and treatment-resistant depression.
Acute, complex, and developmental trauma. Single-event PTSD and the kind that built up over years.
Bipolar I, Bipolar II, cyclothymia, rapid cycling, and mixed episodes.
Persistent depressive disorder, cyclothymia, seasonal affective, and adjustment disorders.
Substance Use
Alcohol use disorder and the long-arc work of recovery. Medical detox referral when withdrawal needs supervision.
Heroin, fentanyl, and prescription pain medication. MAT with buprenorphine or naltrexone when it's the right call.
Powder and crack cocaine. Stimulant use disorder, withdrawal support, and long-arc relapse prevention.
Opioid painkillers, benzodiazepines, and stimulants. Whether it started in a doctor's office or somewhere else.
When mental health and substance use show up together. Both treated at once, not in sequence.
Clinical depth

Our approach
Restoration, transformation, and integration. Not a linear sequence. A rhythm the work returns to, again and again, as life keeps changing.
Steady the ground.
First, the conditions for everything else. Sleep, structure, medication when indicated, a working relationship with the people on your team. Hope follows.
Insight into change.
With ground beneath you, the harder work begins. Naming what hurts, examining the patterns, choosing what comes next. Where therapy earns its name.
Skills into a life.
Carrying the work back into the week. Job, family, recovery rhythm, the people who'll sit with you on hard days. Less office, more world.
What actually drives outcomes
Across modalities, four factors account for most of the change clients experience in therapy. It's why our clinicians' relationship with you matters as much as their method, and why what happens between sessions matters most of all.
From psychotherapy outcomes research. The numbers are why we hire for relational fit, not just credentials, and why the work we do with you to build a life outside the room counts as part of the treatment.
The toolkit
Nine therapies, organized by what they actually do. Methods we use in session, medication when chemistry helps, and the formats that bring the right people into the room.
Methods
what we do in session
Practical work on the thoughts that shape the day. Structured, skills-forward, short-arc.
Skills for the moments that overwhelm. Mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness.
Processing the memory the body still holds. For trauma that talk alone hasn't moved.
An approach as much as a method. Assumes history, builds safety first, never re-wounds.
Medication
when chemistry helps
Formats
who's in the room
Built for
Four audiences we've shaped care around, not for accommodation but for accuracy. The same clinical depth, calibrated to the life you actually live.
For LGBTQ adults
A program, not an accommodation.
Identity isn't a thing you set aside to get the help. It's the place clinicians who actually know the work meet you. Coming out, transition, family rejection, the long grind of minority stress, all of it on the table from the first session.
In the heart of Montrose
For professionals & executives
Confidential, calibrated, after hours when needed.
The high-functioning don't always look like they need help. Evening sessions, a clinical team that understands the cost of being seen, and concierge support when the schedule won't bend.
For families
Bring the system into the room.
Parents, partners, adult children, the people who'll sit with you on the hard days. Changing one person rarely stays with one person, so we don't pretend otherwise.
For couples
Repair, communication, repair again.
For the conflict that lives between you, not inside one of you. Whether it's been five months or fifteen years, the work is finding the conversation you've been avoiding.
Where we are
Lovett Boulevard, in the Montrose/Museum District. Easy access from I-10, US-59, and I-45. Same address since 2014.

Where it begins
Most admissions complete within one to two business days of the initial call and assessment. Insurance and self-pay both welcome.
Private and supportive.
A call with admissions. We listen to what's bringing you in, walk through programs and insurance, and start matching you with a clinician.
Virtual or in person.
A thorough evaluation with a clinician so we understand the full picture before we recommend a path. The basis for everything that follows.
The right level of care, for you.
Based on the assessment, you're placed in the level that fits, outpatient, IOP, PHP, or dual diagnosis. Built for long-term stability, not just a discharge date.
Scheduled, supported, started.
Admissions handles the logistics, scheduling your intake and the transition into treatment, so the only thing you have to focus on is showing up.
