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

Teen IOP: Intensive Support for Adolescent Mental Health

9-15 hours per week of structured adolescent mental health treatment — CBT-based group therapy focused on identity, peer relationships, and academic pressure; individual therapy with a dedicated adolescent clinician; psychiatric medication management; and weekly family therapy. After-school and evening scheduling to minimize missed school days.

Teen PHP: Daily Intensive Care Without Hospitalization

25-30 hours per week for teens in acute mental health crisis — active self-harm, suicidal ideation with a plan, severe anxiety preventing school attendance. PHP keeps adolescents home nights and weekends while providing near-inpatient monitoring and therapeutic support during the day.

What Makes Teen IOP Different from Adult IOP

Teen-only group composition. Developmental focus on identity, peer relationships, and academic stress. Mandatory family therapy weekly. School coordination with ISD counselors. Clinicians trained in adolescent development and DBT for teens.

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.
