Flexible Online IOP Therapy that Truly Meets You Where You Are
At Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program (DMA), our virtual intensive outpatient (IOP) program for mental health disorders was intentionally created to be as easy as possible and flexible in every way. That means patients can meet us from the comfort of wherever they are, but also at times that are convenient for them. Patients have different reasons for not being able to attend therapy in-person – all reasons are valid and everyone should have the opportunity to get the quality care that literally meets them where they are.

Flex Schedules for a Better Treatment Experience
At DMA, we want to ensure virtual intensive outpatient programming is as convenient as possible. This is why flex schedules provide a block of treatment time in which the patient can choose to attend a session at an earlier or later time. Here’s a sample of flex scheduling:
- Adults Track: Choose 12 – 3 p.m. OR 1 – 4 p.m.
- Adolescents After School: Choose 3 – 6 p.m. OR 4 – 7 p.m.

5 Reasons to Choose Virtual IOP Treatment at DMA
When we say our mission is to provide better access to mental health care, we mean it. The need is great, and the delivery of services should reach anyone who needs help. So, why should a person consider online treatment at DMA?
1. Enhanced engagement among patients – In their own safe space and at times that are flexible, patients may find participation more comfortable compared to in-person group sessions.
2. 25+ years of experience in helping people manage a mental health disorder – The virtual setting is new, but not our expertise. Since 1997, DMA has treated mental health disorders with evidence-based and holistic therapies. Our approach to treatment is also guided by a commitment to be inclusive of all patients and staff members.
3. Purposefully virtual content and curriculum – This platform takes our in-person intensive outpatient program (IOP) to make an equally impactful virtual program. An exclusively virtual curriculum also reduces the worry of sudden changes to in-person meetings by fully utilizing technology to get treatment.
4. Specially trained team – Therapists are specifically trained to conduct treatment in a virtual setting and are well-versed in technology.
5. Reduced travel burden – For those who struggle finding adequate transportation have obligations close to home, school or work, the virtual program is ideal.
