Who virtual IOP is for
When you need half days of care from home.
Virtual intensive outpatient is built for adults in California who need more structure than a weekly 1:1 hour, but cannot drive to 580 Broadway in Laguna Beach three to five days a week.
Most people arrive with more than one diagnosis. Our clinicians hold trauma, personality patterns, depression, anxiety, OCD, and substance use in one plan rather than sending you to separate tracks.
You join the room on video. The evening stays in your own house.
How virtual IOP works
Schedule, format, and video setup.
Virtual IOP runs on Dr. Courtney Tracy's three-part clinical model: somatic care for the body, cognitive analysis for the mind, and psychoanalytic work for the history underneath. You meet with licensed clinicians and facilitators on video instead of sitting in the Broadway suite.

Half days, call admissions to confirm your schedule.

Format
Group and individual sessions
Each virtual IOP week combines live group and individual sessions. Groups cover somatic grounding, DBT-informed skills, cognitive work, and relapse prevention when substance use is part of the picture. EMDR and trauma processing sit inside the same plan.

Technology
Live sessions on a secure video call
Sessions run live on a secure video call. You join from a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, microphone, and a private room where what is said in group stays private. Admissions can answer setup questions when you call.
