This type of therapy is highly effective for optimizing your mental health outcomes.

Which conditions can the intensive outpatient program treat?

The intensive outpatient program at Therapy Services of the Rockies can help you better manage the following conditions, particularly if your case is complex or severe:

• Depression

Am I a candidate for intensive outpatient therapy?

Your Therapy Services of the Rockies provider completes a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation using DSM-5 criteria to learn if you’re a candidate for intensive outpatient therapy. 

The practice offers individual therapy, family therapy, and group therapy to adults, children, and teenagers. 

In addition to intensive outpatient therapy, Therapy Services of the Rockies also provides access to a partial hospitalization program for people with qualifying conditions.
