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

Understanding Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization Programs

IOP for OCD & Anxiety: Structured Treatment Around Your Life

Our anxiety and OCD-focused IOP provides 9-20 hours of clinical support per week. Individual therapy uses ERP for OCD and CBT for anxiety disorders. Anxiety-specific group therapy connects you with peers who understand the experience — not mixed groups where OCD sits alongside unrelated conditions. Psychiatric evaluation and medication management are integrated into the program.

PHP for Severe OCD & Anxiety

When OCD or anxiety is severe enough to prevent you from leaving home, attending work, or maintaining relationships, PHP provides 6-8 hours of daily intensive clinical support. PHP is the appropriate level of care when standard outpatient has not been sufficient and inpatient hospitalization is not warranted.

Why Mind Above Matter for OCD & Anxiety

Anxiety-specific groups — dedicated groups for anxiety disorders, not combined with unrelated conditions.

Integrated psychiatry — medication evaluation within the program for SSRIs, SNRIs, and other evidence-based options.

JCAHO Accredited — highest national standards for behavioral health care.

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.

Edna Hussat

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ERP and why does it work for OCD?

Yes. Mind Above Matter's clinicians use Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the evidence-based gold standard for OCD, with response rates above 65% in clinical studies. Our therapists are specifically trained in ERP protocol, not generalized anxiety therapy applied to OCD. Both IOP and PHP levels of care are available for OCD, with anxiety-specific group therapy and integrated psychiatric care for medication management.

Does insurance cover OCD and anxiety treatment at IOP or PHP level?

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.

How is IOP different from seeing an anxiety therapist weekly?

Weekly therapy provides one session per week. IOP provides 9-20 hours of structured clinical care per week — individual therapy, group therapy, skills training, and psychiatric support. For anxiety or OCD that is significantly disrupting daily functioning, the intensity of IOP creates faster and more durable change.

Do you treat Pure O OCD and intrusive thoughts?

Can I work or go to school during OCD or anxiety IOP?

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.

How long does IOP for OCD or anxiety take?

IOP programs typically run 8 to 16 weeks depending on your diagnosis, symptom severity, and progress. PHP is usually 2 to 4 weeks before stepping down to IOP. Your clinical team sets your timeline based on your actual progress, not an arbitrary cutoff date. A gradual step-down from PHP to IOP to standard outpatient care is built into your treatment plan from the start.
