IOP tracks and a weekly grief group.

Weekly therapy is not always enough. These offerings add structure, practical tools, and clinician-led support. Relapse Prevention, DBT, and postpartum depression care are intensive outpatient programs. The grief offering is a weekly therapeutic group, not IOP.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Postpartum Depression Virtual IOP

8 weeks · Monday, Wednesday, Friday · 9:00 AM–12:00 PM

When weekly therapy isn’t enough, you deserve more support—not more pressure. Postpartum depression can make everyday life feel overwhelming. You may feel disconnected, anxious, exhausted, irritable, guilty, unlike yourself—or as though everyone expects you to be happy when you’re struggling inside. This eight-week virtual Intensive Outpatient Program is created specifically for moms experiencing postpartum depression and related emotional challenges.

The program offers:

  • Virtual care from the comfort of home
  • Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
  • 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
  • Motherhood-focused, baby-inclusive support
  • A small and supportive group environment
  • Evidence-informed coping and emotional-regulation skills
  • Individualized treatment and care coordination
  • Support from perinatal clinical specialists
  • Assistance working with most major insurance plans

You are not failing. You may simply need more care than one appointment each week can provide.

If you or your baby may be in immediate danger, call 911. For crisis support, call or text 988. The National Maternal Mental Health Hotline is available at 1-833-852-6262 (1-833-TLC-MAMA).

Grief, Loss & Relationship Group

8 weeks · 1 hour per week

You don’t have to carry grief, loss, or relationship pain alone. This clinician-led, eight-week therapeutic group provides a compassionate and structured place to process what feels heavy.

The group provides space to process:

  • Grief and difficult life transitions
  • Relationship loss and betrayal
  • Guilt, shame, and overwhelming emotions
  • Codependent patterns
  • Boundaries and communication
  • Acceptance, self-compassion, and moving forward

Participants meet for one hour each week and learn practical tools drawn from mindfulness, DBT, ACT, attachment theory, grounding, and self-compassion work. The program is designed to complement ongoing individual therapy.

Questions

A few things people ask first.

What is IOP?

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides more structured support than weekly therapy while allowing participants to continue living at home. It typically combines clinician-led group sessions, individual guidance, and practical skill-building on a recurring weekly schedule. Serenity Springs currently offers Relapse Prevention & Recovery Skills IOP, DBT IOP, and a virtual Postpartum Depression IOP.

What is the time commitment?

Relapse Prevention IOP and DBT IOP each run for 12 weeks, three days per week. The Postpartum Depression Virtual IOP runs for eight weeks on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The grief, loss, and relationship offering is a clinician-led therapeutic group that meets for one hour each week over eight weeks, not an IOP. Days, times, and format may vary by cohort. Before you register, our office will explain the current schedule and attendance expectations.

What happens in group therapy?

Groups are conducted under Jeanette’s clinical direction, with licensed professional counselors participating as part of the clinical team. Sessions combine guided discussion, practical skill-building, and learning alongside others. We’ll explain the group structure and participation expectations before you begin.

How do I know whether IOP is the right level of care?

Start with a private conversation rather than trying to decide alone. Our office can explain the programs, ask what kind of support you are looking for, and arrange the appropriate next step for determining whether Relapse Prevention IOP, DBT IOP, the postpartum IOP, or the weekly grief group matches your needs. An appointment request is a request for information, not automatic enrollment.

Get clear answers about IOP.

Ask about the current cohort, registration dates, benefits, and what participation involves. We’ll explain the next step before you decide.
