Intensive Outpatient Program I.O.P. 

The Intensive Outpatient Program’s mission is to work assist individuals with their own mental health goals while increasing functionality and fostering safety and stabilization. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is trauma-informed treatment grounded in Cognitive Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral Therapies provided through group work and augmented by individual, family, and couples sessions. IOP consumers attend two days a week for four treatment hours daily totaling eight hours of group therapy weekly. Consumers may request family or couples sessions as needed and individual sessions to better enhance recovery. IOP consumers are permitted up to ten treatment hours weekly within the program. 

 
The Intensive Outpatient Program’s target consumer is age 18 and above with a history of instability within the community as demonstrated by psychiatric hospitalizations, involvement with the legal system, and/or multiple treatment attempts that just have not worked. Many of IOP’s clients have a history of complex developmental trauma or many incidences of traumatic experiences in addition to a history of suicidal thoughts. Many of our clients tell us it is like they have “lost a piece” along the way and they are struggling to get it back. People with diagnoses of Borderline Personality Disorder, Bi-polar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder are often found in IOP.

Kristie Ziegler, LPC

I have been with Regional Counseling Center for 14 years practicing as a mental health therapist. I came in as an intern and just never left. I have a Master of Science in Community Counseling from Gannon University and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am certified in Cognitive Therapy from The Cleveland Center for Cognitive Therapy and certified TR-CBT Trauma Focus Therapy. I am currently getting my certification in Geriatrics. I helped develop the Hoarding Recovery and Maintenance Program. I also work in Intensive Outpatient Program and Mobile Mental Health Treatment. I love group work with the focus on trauma and DBT. My populations are trauma, personality disorders, and geriatrics. In my free time, I love to laugh and spend time with my family and friends.

This vast range in age allows for sharing of perspectives, insights, and knowledge amongst IOP members, increasing the communication between age groups and fostering empathy among populations which rarely meld in day to day life, thusly growing the individual’s ability and confidence to communicate wants and needs via enactments within the group setting. 

Individual and Team Focus

 Up to 10 hours a week are provided in various modalities through the Intensive Outpatient Program. Consumers in IOP attend group twice weekly

Who Qualifies
