A College Town That Gets It: Mental Health Care for Denton Minds
Denton is alive with ideas. Between the thriving campuses of UNT and TWU, the historic charm of Denton Square, and the creative energy that pulses through this university town, there's a unique spirit here. It's also a place where young minds navigate real challenges—academic pressure, identity exploration, relationship struggles, substance experimentation, mental health crises, and the pressure of finding your way.
Mind Above Matter brings specialized mental health care right to Denton, with our physical location at 815 Cross Timber Street. But we go beyond traditional clinic-based treatment. We've partnered with Denton ISD schools to bring our iMatter program directly into schools, meeting students where they already are—because real prevention and early intervention happen at school, not in an office waiting room.
Whether you're a UNT or TWU student, a Denton ISD adolescent, or a working adult in our community, our IOP program offers 9-20 hours per week of clinical-grade mental health treatment with flexible scheduling.
Imagine: You choose morning, afternoon, or evening sessions. You work with a licensed therapist who specializes in your specific challenges. You participate in evidence-based group therapy where you meet others navigating similar struggles. You access psychiatric services for medication management. You get crisis planning and real-world coping skills. All designed to work with your reality—classes, work, internships, family commitments—not against it.
IOP is ideal for depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use, dual diagnosis, and the complex struggles that often show up during college years or early adulthood. You get serious, coordinated treatment without disrupting your life.
PHP is our most intensive program—5-6 days per week, 6-8 hours daily. It's perfect for acute crises, transitions out of hospitalization, or when symptoms have escalated beyond what IOP can address.
Think of PHP as a structured therapeutic day. You arrive for individual therapy, participate in multiple group sessions, meet with psychiatry for medication management, receive skills training, and engage in family work if appropriate. Everything is coordinated by one team with one goal: your stabilization and recovery.
Many Denton students and young adults use PHP as a bridge between crisis and lower-intensity care, allowing them to step down to IOP or standard outpatient therapy once acute symptoms are managed.
Here's what we know: The best time to help a student is before crisis hits. That's why Mind Above Matter partners directly with Denton ISD schools to provide the iMatter program—our school-based mental health initiative.
iMatter brings licensed therapists into Denton schools to provide early intervention, prevention, and support. Students can access counseling without leaving campus. Teachers and counselors can refer struggling students immediately. We coordinate with school staff to support academic success while addressing mental health needs. When a student needs more intensive care like IOP or PHP, we facilitate that transition seamlessly.
If you're a parent of a Denton ISD student, the iMatter program means your child has access to professional mental health support at school—reducing stigma, improving early detection, and creating real continuity of care.
If you or a loved one are facing mental health challenges, our programs can help you develop the skills, strength, and resilience you need.
