Intensive Outpatient for Trauma and PTSD That Works
Our Innova Hope Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for individuals who need more than weekly therapy but do not require inpatient care. Led by licensed therapists, our IOP is trauma-focused, evidence-based, and flexible to fit your schedule.
We use proven techniques such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help you manage symptoms, process your past, and rebuild your life. Whether your challenges stem from childhood abuse, grief, or the ongoing stress of anxiety and depression, Innova offers a safe, supportive environment for you to experience true healing.
Support for Every Stage of Life
With your convenience and accessibility in mind, our Innova Hope IOP allows you to participate from the comfort and privacy of your home using your smartphone or laptop. You will join group meetings with 8-12 members three days a week. Programs typically last 12 weeks, depending on individual progress. Our team will support you from your first phone call to your initial meeting, ensuring you always have help when needed.
For Women
Innova provides a safe space where women can connect, feel validated, and support each other. For women, led by women, our women’s IOP will help you develop EMDR, CPT, and DBT skills that break the cycle, reduce shame, and restore hope.
For Men
With a highly interactive format that encourages openness, our IOP for men goes well beyond stereotypes and avoids therapy jargon. At Innova, men will explore their identity, handle and share emotions, and learn how to express their needs with increased confidence.
For Teens
Teens appreciate the supportive, nonjudgmental environment at Innova, where they can freely share their struggles. In our IOP for ages 12-17, teens learn emotional regulation and self-advocacy, and build healthy coping skills through proven methods like DBT and mindfulness-based therapy.
For Military
Our Military IOP is designed for active-duty service members, veterans, and military families who need structured care without disrupting their daily routines. Whether you’re dealing with PTSD or transition stress, our IOP offers a path to healing with compassion and expertise.
Proven Methods for True Healing
At Innova, we understand that every person’s trauma story is unique. Our dedicated team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs, using multiple evidence-based modalities for transformative healing with lasting results.
Our Innova Hope IOP may be a good fit for you if you are experiencing the following signs and symptoms:
- PTSD symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, or avoidance
- Constant anxiety, restlessness, or panic attacks
- Overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, or lack of motivation
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Isolation, withdrawal, or loss of interest in life
- Coping through alcohol, drugs, food, or perfectionism
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
When you experience a traumatic event, negative feelings can surface. EMDR helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional intensity. This approach is especially effective for PTSD, anxiety, and unresolved trauma.
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
Through CPT, our team will guide you to recognize and modify unhelpful beliefs about yourself and the world caused by trauma, addressing thoughts like “I am not safe.” You will learn to identify negative core beliefs and replace them with healthier thoughts.
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to help you set boundaries and develop practical tools for managing overwhelming emotions and relationships more effectively.
