The Two Tents Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) utilizes Dialectal Behavioral Therapy - Skills (DBT-S), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) for Adolescents in the form of DNA-V and exposure therapy.  Our unique blending has become the BOLD Living Skills taught to help young people and their family find more effective ways to regulate their emotions and thereby, their behaviors. All three clinical models have decades of evidence in effectively treating anxiety, depression, and the complications of ADHD, shame and guilt. 

Ongoing IOP Skills training is Monday through Thursday (4x per week) from 3:00-6:00 pm in a group setting over 6 weeks (~24 group sessions).  Family Skills training weekly 4:30-6 pm on Wednesdays.

This has changed my daughter’s life as well as our whole family’s. Four months ago, I didn’t know how much more I could take or how my daughter would ever be able to have a “normal” life.  Immediately following the program things have changed. There is hope.  There is communication. There is understanding.”  -Parent
