Q&A


What is the women’s trauma IOP?

The Women’s Trauma IOP is a structured outpatient treatment program specifically tailored to support women who have experienced trauma. This program offers a higher level of care than traditional therapy, allowing participants to engage in intensive therapy multiple times per week while balancing personal and professional responsibilities.


Unlike traditional weekly therapy, the IOP provides multiple structured sessions per week, integrating evidence-based treatments, group support, and skills training. This approach facilitates deeper healing and long-term emotional well-being.

 

The program supports women who have experienced various forms of trauma, including:

 

  • Childhood trauma
  • Domestic violence
  • Sexual assault
  • PTSD and complex PTSD
  • Emotional and psychological abuse

How does the program work?

The Women’s Trauma IOP follows a structured schedule that incorporates various therapeutic approaches to foster healing and empowerment.

 

Each session includes a combination of:

  • Individual therapy for personalized support
  • Group therapy to build connection and community
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and coping skills
  • Mindfulness and stress management techniques to reduce anxiety and improve emotional resilience

 

Sessions typically occur three to five days per week, with each session lasting a few hours. The length of the program varies based on individual needs, generally spanning six to eight weeks.

Who is a good candidate for the women’s trauma IOP?

This program is ideal for women seeking structured support to process trauma without requiring inpatient care. It is particularly beneficial for those who:

  • Experience symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, or depression related to trauma
  • Struggle with emotional regulation and coping skills
  • Are looking for a structured program with consistent support
  • Prefer a women-centered, trauma-informed approach

 

Women who are experiencing a mental health crisis, have severe safety concerns, or require 24/7 care may benefit more from inpatient treatment. The specialists will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the most appropriate level of care.
