What are IOP and PHP, and How Can They Help You?

IOP: Closing the Mental Health Gap in Forney

Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides 9-20 hours of structured clinical care per week, built around the demands of daily life in Forney. Individual therapy with a consistent licensed therapist, group therapy with peers working through similar challenges, evidence-based skills training using CBT and DBT, and psychiatric evaluation and medication management — all integrated into one coordinated program. Morning and afternoon scheduling options mean most Forney residents can continue working, attending school, and managing family responsibilities during IOP. IOP is the right level of care when symptoms significantly impact your life but do not require hospitalization.

PHP for Kaufman County Residents in Crisis

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides 6-8 hours of intensive daily clinical support, five to six days per week. PHP is the highest level of outpatient care available — appropriate when symptoms require daily intensive treatment but inpatient hospitalization is not necessary. For Forney residents, PHP is typically the right step when symptoms are acute, when stepping down from an inpatient stay, or when IOP has not been sufficient. You receive individual therapy, multiple group sessions, and psychiatric care each day, then return home in the evenings. Most participants step down to IOP level care after 2-4 weeks as symptoms stabilize.

Teen Mental Health for Forney ISD Students

Forney ISD is one of the fastest-growing districts in Texas. Our teen IOP serves students 13-17 with academic accommodation support and school counselor coordination during treatment.

Why Forney Families Choose Mind Above Matter

Intensive Outpatient Group Therapy Near Texas

1. Virtual-First for Kaufman County

Our Lewisville location serves Forney via I-635 or SH-80 connecting to I-30 east, typically 30-40 minutes. Virtual IOP is also available for Forney residents who prefer remote participation from Kaufman County.

2. Medicaid Accepted

Forney's commuter population often works in Dallas while living in the eastern suburbs. Morning and afternoon IOP scheduling is designed for exactly this lifestyle — treatment fits around work, not the other way around.

3. Forney ISD Student Programs

Teen IOP and the iMatter school-based program serve adolescents in the Forney ISD area. School coordination is built in — we provide attendance documentation and communicate with school counselors when appropriate.

4. No Waitlist for Assessments

Most major commercial plans and Texas Medicaid accepted. Benefits verified same-day on your first call. Prior authorization handled by our intake team.

Conditions We Treat

Anxiety & Trauma

IOP provides 9-20 hours of structured clinical care per week — individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric care, and skills training — at a level of intensity that weekly outpatient therapy cannot match.

I don't think I will ever be able to adequately articulate what Mind Above Matter (Burleson - Virtual) did for me in a time where I needed something so desperately. At the time, I didn't know what I needed, or how anything could help, but thank the Lord I was directed to MAB. The program literally saved my life and set me back up for success. I 100% feel like I've been able to take back my life with the help from the therapists, psychiatrist, and program that I was apart of in my time at MAB. If you are thinking about starting this program, or referring someone you love to this program, don't hesitate - do it. I promise, you will not regret it.

We had the absolute best experience working with Ally. She was my child’s therapist and made such a positive impact on her life, not just in her progress, but in her confidence and overall happiness. From the very beginning, Ally made our entire family feel included in the process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, welcomed our questions, and always made us feel heard.
Her kindness, patience, and genuine care for her clients truly set her apart. It’s clear she’s passionate about what she does and deeply invested in helping each child succeed. We are so grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled therapist.

Graduating from the PHP and IOP program at Mind Over Matter has been a life-changing experience for me. From the very beginning, I felt truly supported and cared for. The therapists here are absolutely incredible — compassionate, skilled, and genuinely invested in helping you grow and heal.

Each session felt meaningful and safe, and the team created an environment where I could open up, work through challenges, and actually see progress. What stood out the most was how much the therapists went above and beyond — they didn’t just “do their job,” they made me feel seen, heard, and understood in a way that’s rare to find.

If you’re looking for a program that provides structure, encouragement, and outstanding therapists who truly care, I can’t recommend Mind Over Matter enough. This place gave me the tools and confidence I needed to move forward, and I’ll always be grateful for my time here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do you offer virtual IOP for Forney?
Yes. Mind Above Matter offers virtual IOP and PHP for Texas residents who cannot attend in person. Virtual sessions run through a HIPAA-compliant video platform and use the same evidence-based clinical protocols as our in-person programs. In-person options are also available at our Keller, Lewisville, and Burleson locations for those who prefer or require a physical setting.
Q: Do you coordinate with Forney ISD?
Mind Above Matter coordinates directly with school districts to support students in treatment. We provide documentation for attendance accommodations, communicate with school counselors when appropriate, and ensure that entering IOP or PHP does not jeopardize academic standing. The iMatter program brings mental health support directly into participating school buildings, and our clinical team has experience navigating school system requirements alongside clinical care.
Q: What insurance do you accept?
If you have commercial insurance or Texas Medicaid, most or all of the cost is typically covered. Mind Above Matter accepts most major commercial plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, as well as Texas Medicaid STAR, STAR+PLUS, and CHIP. We verify your benefits on your first call at no charge and tell you exactly what your out-of-pocket costs look like before you make any commitment. Most patients pay little to nothing out of pocket.

In-person IOP and PHP programs are available at our Lewisville location, typically 20-30 minutes from Forney via I-35E or SH-121.
