Therapy programs when you need it more than once a week.
(iOP, PHP, and more)

Sometimes therapy once a week isn’t enough.

Life can get to be too much. It sends you breakups, emergencies, illnesses, trauma, loss, and plot twists you couldn’t possibly have prepared for, no matter how many scenarios you anxiously tried to get ahead of in your mind.

Suddenly it’s hard to talk to people. Suddenly it’s hard to get out of bed. You’re not you anymore. Anxiety overtakes you and doomscrolling seems to be the only way you can escape the overwhelming feelings (even breathing exercises YouTube influencers recommend don’t seem to help).

Maybe you’re seeing a therapist already, and you wish you could just get a couple more days in a week. Or you’re worried your only option is to “tough it out” until things get too much and it feels like there’s no way out.

Luckily, you have more options than the mainstream therapy’s showed you.

Learn about your options

You can find purpose, direction, and peace of mind again.

We know it feels impossible right now. But emotional injuries are injuries, and—just like physical injuries—with consistency, focus, and the right environment they can heal.

If you sprain your foot, you might go to physical therapy once a week to get better. But if you just had knee surgery, you might need to spend a few hours a day, a couple days a week to get back to walking. When done right, you could be running marathons afterwards (if that’s your thing).

That’s exactly what IOPs (intensive outpatient programs) and PHPs (partial hospitalization programs) are for mental health.

We promise they’re not nearly as intimidating as their names make them sound, and there are no hospitals involved—they actually the bridge the gap between weekly therapy and emergency intervention

When you go through our group therapy programs you’ll get…

New coping skills + deep processing

You’ll learn coping skills to help you gain control of overwhelming situations and symptoms.

Some groups focus on skills if that best suits your journey, but our trauma-focused programs give you a mix of both.

Our DBT & Trauma IOPs give you access to 1:1s with your therapist for deep processing.

A group of people who get what you’re going through

Not just because your therapist is trauma informed...but also because the people in your group are going through similar challenges. Things won’t feel so lonely after that.

(Plus group therapy means you have the option to sit back and listen if you don’t want to talk)

An experiential environment

You’ll get to practice setting boundaries in a small group so they’re 2nd nature when you apply them in the “real world”

We also don’t like to make things boring—our therapists are constantly using things like art, music, TED Talks, and movement (like nature walks & somatic approaches).

New perspectives & confidence

With daily support from your therapist, you’ll never have to face this mountain alone.

We get it—the sound of group therapy has an ick-factor. But our clients think otherwise:

I am extremely grateful for this experience. It came at the right time and I was able to learn, absorb and use the information and tools in the group and apply them to my life. Remember not to get stuck on things or the why. Rachael was the best and kept it real and useful.

Allen

This program has been an incredible source of hope for me. Before Sanare Today, I felt isolated in my depression and felt no one understood how I felt. Being able to share my feelings and learn from others in the group has helped me learn to shift my thinking and truly believe in myself.

Tess

I was in a group 3 years ago and it changed my life. When I joined the group I learned the tools that I needed to be able to have control over my emotions and now I am able to function on a daily basis and live my life.

Jess

This was the first time I felt actually heard and encouraged and told it wasn’t hopeless. Ally said it would be a team approach and we would look at things from lots of angles which was beyond encouraging. I am grateful.

Sarah L.

The counselors at Sanare Today are full of helpful information. My experience helped me learn basic techniques and coping skills in my life.

Dan

Sanare Today is a fantastic program that helped me navigate a frightful period in my life. In the beginning I was skeptical but I'm glad I stuck it out. I have new tools and techniques about how to handle anxiety and depression. I'm grateful I was directed here.

Alice

You are in the right place! You will be educated and challenged about your current core beliefs and learn what goes into creating each of your life experiences. If you keep an open heart and mind you will get a lot out of being a part of this outpatient program. Rachael is awesome!

SFS

A raging storm of disappointment and fear led to my suicide attempt in January 2011. Sanare's IOP offered tools for finding hope, joy, and a sense of purpose. I now have a new career sharing my hope, safe relationships, and joy in just being me.

Nancy

When I came to the group at Sanare Today I was unable to function. I was so depressed I sat in a chair, preferably in the dark, all day. No desire for anything. I was taught tools to help me get back to living. It wasn't easy but if I can do it anyone can! My life has done a 360 and I am happier than I've ever been! I am living life!

How it works

Schedule a consultation

You’ll call in or fill out our contact form. Our friendly admission’s team will greet you warmly and help you figure out your consultation details, like when, where, and what therapist you’ll chat with

Develop your care plan

Most mental health providers make you figure this part out on your own. With Sanare, when you’re at your consultation, one of our therapists will help you find what program will be the best fit for you.

As you go through your program, they’ll be by your side helping you figure out what your aftercare programs will look like.

Start your group!

You’ll get all the details to make sure you’re finding the right building (and room!). On your first day, you might feel a little weird and that’s normal. But soon you’ll be gaining new skills, validation, and support from your therapist & group-mates that you’ll never forget.

What to expect from your IOP or PHP time commitments:
6-8+ weeks
4-5 days a week
3-5 hours a day

Think 6-8 weeks is too much of a commitment?

If your life was a 2.5hr movie, your IOP/PHP program would be 17 seconds long. That’s a lot of good years ahead of you.

Our groups leave room for life—you can sign up for morning or evening programs, and your therapist can help craft your careplan to make room for your existing commitments.
