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

Understanding Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization Programs

IOP for Trauma & PTSD: Processing at Your Own Pace

Our trauma-focused IOP provides 9-20 hours of structured clinical support per week while you continue living at home. Individual therapy sessions use EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT. Group therapy connects you with others who understand the specific experience of trauma without requiring you to share details you are not ready to share. Psychiatric evaluation and medication management are available as part of the program.

PHP for Acute Trauma Symptoms

When trauma symptoms are severe enough to significantly disrupt daily functioning — intrusive memories that won't stop, hypervigilance that makes leaving the house difficult, emotional dysregulation that's affecting relationships and work — PHP provides 6-8 hours of daily clinical support five to six days per week. It is the most intensive outpatient level available, without an overnight hospital stay.

Why Mind Above Matter for Trauma Treatment

JCAHO Accredited — we meet the highest national standards for behavioral health care.

Trauma-trained clinicians — EMDR-certified and TF-CBT trained therapists, not generalists learning on the job.

Integrated psychiatric care — medication evaluation and management within the program, not a separate referral.

Insurance accepted — most major commercial plans and Texas Medicaid.

How We Treat Trauma & PTSD

Intensive Outpatient Group Therapy Near Texas

EMDR & Trauma-Focused CBT

Evidence-based trauma processing using EMDR and TF-CBT, delivered by specifically trained clinicians. You process what happened without being forced through it on a timeline that doesn't fit you.

Scheduling That Respects Trauma

Morning and afternoon program tracks with grounding breaks built in. Trauma symptoms are unpredictable. Our program is designed with that in mind, not against it.

Integrated Psychiatric Support

Board-certified psychiatric providers evaluate, prescribe, and monitor medication within your program. Medication is one tool among many — never the entire treatment.

Trauma-Informed Group Therapy

Peer groups with others who understand the specific experience of trauma. Safety, trust, and the pace of disclosure are always in your control.

What Makes Our Trauma Program Different

Clinicians Trained in Trauma Specifically

Our therapists hold EMDR certification and TF-CBT training. You are not working with a generalist who treats anxiety, depression, and trauma interchangeably.

You Control the Pace

Trauma processing cannot be rushed. Our programs are built for the actual timeline of trauma recovery — not an arbitrary discharge date.

Insurance Accepted — Including Medicaid

We accept most major commercial plans and Texas Medicaid. Benefits are verified on your first call so there are no financial surprises.

DFW Accessible Locations

Locations in Keller, Lewisville, and Burleson serve the full DFW metro. Most residents reach us within 30 minutes.

Here's How It Works

Step 1: Call Us — We Listen First

Pick up the phone and tell us what's going on. We'll listen, ask a few questions, and help you figure out if we're the right fit — no pressure, no commitment required.

A licensed clinician reviews your situation and recommends IOP, PHP, or a step-down sequence. Insurance is verified on this same call in most cases.

Step 3: You Start Treatment

You show up and do the work. Therapy sessions, group work, psychiatric appointments — your team is consistent and your plan is built around your life.

Step 4: We Plan What Comes Next

Before you finish, we build an aftercare plan together — ongoing therapy, community resources, and a clear picture of what staying well looks like for you.

Support that empowers.

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

Do I have to talk about my trauma in detail in group therapy?

Yes. Family involvement is a core component of our adolescent programs. This includes weekly family therapy sessions with your teen's therapist and separate parent support groups. Parents do not attend every clinical session, but engagement in family therapy and parent support is expected and makes a meaningful difference in treatment outcomes. We provide parents with their own support and education throughout the process.

Does insurance cover trauma and PTSD 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 for trauma different from weekly therapy?

IOP provides 9-20 hours of structured clinical support per week — individual therapy, group therapy, skills training, and psychiatric care — compared to one 50-minute session per week. For trauma that is significantly disrupting daily life, IOP creates the intensity of change that weekly therapy cannot.

How long is trauma treatment in IOP or PHP?

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.

Do you treat complex PTSD and childhood trauma?

Yes. Mind Above Matter's IOP and PHP programs treat a comprehensive range of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, and dual diagnosis. Both IOP and PHP levels of care are available depending on symptom severity and your clinical assessment. Call (817) 662-6179 to discuss whether our programs are the right fit for your specific situation.

Can I work or go to school while in the trauma 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.
