Why Families Choose Krippa Family for Teen IOP

Our Mission

 Our mission is to help teens and their families find hope through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. We believe every adolescent deserves individualized treatment that builds resilience, strengthens families, and helps create a life worth living. 

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

  A Teen Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides more support than weekly therapy while allowing teens to continue living at home and, in many cases, attending school. Through a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, family involvement, and evidence-based treatment, IOP helps teens develop healthier coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and build lasting resilience. 

Is Teen IOP right for my Child?

 Teen IOP may be appropriate for adolescents struggling with anxiety, depression, school refusal, self-harm, or other mental health concerns when weekly therapy is no longer enough. Our team helps families determine the right level of care. 

What Does our IOP Include?

Access to Psychological Evaluation

Many teens come into our IOP from other treatment programs without ever having had a full Psychological Evaluation. A Psychological Evaluation can help figure out what the teen's needs are and can greatly inform treatment.

Support

 Group therapy helps teens realize they are not alone. Connecting with peers facing similar challenges provides encouragement, reduces isolation, and offers hope while building healthy relationships and coping skills. 

Comprehensive Care Without Hospitalization

 Our Teen IOP combines evidence-based therapies with experiential approaches such as sandtray therapy, art, movement, yoga, and horticultural activities. This comprehensive approach helps teens develop emotional regulation, healthy coping skills, and lasting resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Still have questions? Contact our Intake Team at intakes@ncpsychologist.com or schedule a free consultation. We're happy to help. 

Teen IOP may be appropriate when weekly therapy is no longer enough to manage your teen's symptoms, but hospitalization or residential treatment is not needed. Common reasons families seek IOP include increasing anxiety, depression, school refusal, emotional dysregulation, self-harm, suicidal thoughts without immediate intent, difficulty functioning at home or school, or stepping down from a higher level of care. If you're unsure, our free Teen IOP Assessment and consultation can help determine the most appropriate next step. 


We understand that when your teen is struggling, waiting for help can feel overwhelming. In many cases, we can schedule your free consultation the very same day you contact us.


If Teen IOP appears to be an appropriate option, we make every effort to schedule a comprehensive clinical intake evaluation within 24 hours whenever possible. Following the intake evaluation, treatment can often begin very quickly.


Our goal is to help families access the right level of care as soon as possible while ensuring each teen receives a thorough clinical assessment before treatment begins.


Completing the Teen IOP Assessment is an important first step, but it does not replace a comprehensive clinical evaluation. The assessment is designed to help you better understand whether your teen may benefit from our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or another level of care.


If you would like additional guidance, you can schedule a free consultation with one of our Intake Coordinators. During this conversation we will:

  • Learn about your concerns and answer your questions. 
  • Explain our programs and services. 
  • Help you understand the treatment options that may best fit your teen's needs. 
  • Explain what to expect during the intake process. 
  • Provide honest recommendations—even if another level of care or provider would better meet your teen's needs. 

If you decide to move forward with services, we will schedule a comprehensive clinical intake evaluation with one of our licensed clinicians. During that evaluation, we complete a thorough assessment of your teen's symptoms, strengths, safety needs, previous treatment, and family situation before making treatment recommendations.

There is no obligation to begin services after your free consultation. Our goal is not to convince every family that Teen IOP is the answer. Our goal is to help your family find the treatment and level of care that best meets your teen's needs.


Consistent attendance is an important part of successful treatment. We ask teens to attend all scheduled treatment days unless they are ill or an absence has been approved by the treatment team. Regular attendance allows teens to build skills, strengthen relationships within the group, and make the greatest progress toward their treatment goals. 


The IOP intake is $215 for a 90 minute intake with a lead clinician.

The Daily Rate for IOP is $250 

Weekly costs are:

$750 for three days per week 

$1250 for 5 days per  week 


A deposit of $1500 is collected at admission. The deposit holds your teens space in the IOP,  the deposit is not refundable if the client leaves the program prematurely against treatment team recommendations. Deposits are returned at the completion of and graduation from the program. 


Possibly. Coverage depends on your insurance carrier and your individual out-of-network benefits. Many families receive reimbursement for a portion of treatment costs. During your consultation, our team can discuss your insurance benefits and answer questions about payment options.  We check all insurance benefits and provide a superbill for reimbursement.


 Every teen progresses at a different pace. We work closely with families throughout treatment to ensure each teen receives the level of care they need and is ready before transitioning out of the program.
