Available Mental Health Services

Intensive Outpatient Programming

Our IOP Boise is uniquely focused on mental health-first care, designed for those stepping down from hospital or needing more than weekly therapy. This program meets three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Thursday), blending group therapy, skills-building, and life coaching across a structured twelve-week curriculum. All sessions are led by seasoned LCSWs and LCPCs, with clinical oversight and integrated medication support when needed.

Outpatient Program Details

The Outpatient Program (OP) is ideal for those managing daily responsibilities while seeking behavioral health support. Clients can expect flexible combinations of individual therapy, group sessions, care planning, and medication reviews. Treatment length is tailored, often serving as a bridge between more intensive care (like IOP) and ongoing community support.

CBRS And Family Services

CBRS Boise (Community-Based Rehabilitation Services) and Family Counseling Boise provide additional layers of support. CBRS specialists assist youth and adults in building skills for daily life, while family counseling offers guidance during transitions or when a child or parent needs focused support.

Medication And Telehealth

In-clinic Medication Management is available as part of a coordinated outpatient plan–overseen by an advanced practice provider. These services can be accessed either in-clinic or remotely using our secure Telehealth platform, ensuring continuity and safety for all clients.
