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

Understanding Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization Programs

IOP: Professional Outpatient Care for Little Elm

Little Elm families no longer need to commute across the metroplex for quality mental health treatment. Our IOP program brings intensive outpatient care to your area.

9-20 hours per week. Individual therapy, group therapy, and psychiatric services. Flexible scheduling that works for working parents, students, and professionals.

PHP: When Your Situation Needs More Intensity

PHP is our most intensive outpatient program: 5-6 days per week, 6-8 hours daily. For people stepping down from hospitalization, facing an acute crisis, or whose daily functioning has been significantly affected.

Comprehensive daily treatment while still going home each evening. One coordinated team managing your psychiatry, therapy, and recovery plan.

iMatter: School-Based Mental Health for Little Elm Students

As Little Elm grows, so do the stresses on young people. New schools, new social dynamics, and a community still building its identity. iMatter puts licensed counselors where students already are.

We partner with Little Elm ISD to provide in-school counseling, early identification, and crisis support. Prevention that works.

Haley Stewart

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.

H. Searcy

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.
