Virtual Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

 Krippa Family Psychological & Wellness Services is proud to offer a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adolescents ages 11–18. Our program provides structured, evidence-based support for teens who need more than weekly therapy — but don’t require inpatient hospitalization.

Led by Dr. Sarah Spade, our Virtual IOP meets afterschool at 4:00 PM and is available to families across North Carolina.

 Our Virtual IOP is designed for teens who may be experiencing:

• Anxiety, depression, or frequent mood changes
   
• Stress related to school, peers, or family relationships
   
• Difficulty with emotional regulation and coping skills
   
• School avoidance or struggles with daily functioning
   
• The need for a higher level of care than once-a-week outpatient therapy

Our program focuses on building coping skills, strengthening resilience, and fostering healthy family connections.

Key Components Include:

• DBT-Informed Skills Training: Mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness
   
• Group Therapy: Peer connection and support in a safe, structured environment
   
• Individual Support: Tailored sessions to meet personal treatment goals
   
• Family Involvement: Parent DBT skills Group and family therapy to strengthen home routines and communication
   
• Care Coordination: Collaboration with your teen’s current therapist, school, and medical providers
   

Our Virtual IOP allows teens to access care without the barriers of transportation or distance.

• Accessible statewide for North Carolina families
   
• Fits into the afterschool schedule (4:00 PM start)
   
• Provides continuity of care while keeping teens at home with their families

Dr. Sarah Spade brings specialized expertise in adolescent mental health, evidence-based practices, and DBT-informed care. Her leadership ensures that every teen and family receives compassionate, high-quality treatment tailored to their needs.
