— Who IOP is for
For adults 18 and older, our IOP provides structured support when weekly therapy is not enough, but inpatient care is not the right fit.
Support for adults struggling with direction, confidence, purpose, and follow-through. Career drift, isolation, and the quiet pressure of watching peers move ahead. Therapy alone has not been enough.
Conditions we treat at this stage
— Inside the program
IOP meets 3 days a week for 8 weeks. Access to group therapy, individual sessions, medication management, and telehealth options all coordinated by one clinical team.
Group
Small cohorts of working adults. The clinical evidence is clear: progress moves faster in a room of peers who get it.
Individual
A dedicated 1:1 clinician within the program, with coordinated scheduling and support from the same care team.
Medication
On-staff prescribers coordinate medication alongside your therapy, so your treatment plan moves as one.
— The TPI advantage
Apps and matching services have a place but they are not this. IOP is structured clinical care delivered by a team, in a real room (or live on screen), with the same people every week.
The Progressive Institute
Therapy apps and matching services
— The facility
Easy to get to and easy to leave. Private parking, quiet rooms, natural light, and a front desk staffed by people you will see every week. Nothing about it feels institutional. Nothing about your life is, either.

“Progressive Institute was a God send for me. I went through the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) recently. Between the therapist leading the program and the others attending, each session brought new insights to me on how to live my life. Upon completion I had gained a new set of skills I needed to maintain a healthy mental state of mind.”

If you're looking for a facility that prioritizes both medical expertise and compassionate care, Progressive Institute is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!”

“This place is a life changer for me. I have been in and out of therapy throughout most of my adult life and when I started IOP this past summer I was in pretty bad shape but everyone made me feel like my feelings were valid and I wasn't just a number. When my IOP of 8 weeks came to an end I felt an overwhelming sense of loss and sadness to leave such an amazing group of people, but I knew I gained a strong love for myself (something I did not know I even had within me). I continued to attend outpatient living Well weekly and I'm so grateful to the staff clinician for listening to my feelings and not pushing medication on me until I was able to regulate my emotions and was ready. I built lifelong friendships with my group and will continue to turn to Progressive for any of my future mental health concerns.”

— How it works
No referral required. No long forms. A real person on the other end, usually the same day you reach out.
Call us, text, or send a short message. One question is enough to start.
A 10 to 15 minute phone call with our admissions clinician to make sure we are the right fit and to verify your insurance.
SAME DAY, MON-FRI
A 90-minute in-person intake with a clinician. We diagnose, build a plan, and most clients begin the program that week.
90-minute meeting, in office
Pre-screens are free, confidential, and answered by a clinician, not a call center.
