Intensive Outpatient Care in Tampa

Empowering Minds, Transforming Lives

Intensive Outpatient

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Karuna Behavioral Health is an evidence-based, structured mental health treatment program designed for individuals who need a higher level of support without inpatient care. Our 8-week IOP includes 9 clinical hours per week, spread over 3 days, offering a balanced approach to recovery and daily life.

The program features 8 distinct weekly themes, each addressing the underlying causes and negative effects of common mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. Clients gain valuable education, practical coping tools, and personalized strategies to support long-term healing and emotional resilience.

Outpatient Therapy

At Karuna Behavioral Health, our Outpatient Treatment Program is ideal for individuals who have completed an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and are seeking continued support for long-term mental wellness. We recognize that mental health is a lifelong journey, and ongoing care plays a vital role in maintaining emotional stability and progress.

Our outpatient therapy in Tampa includes:

  • One individual therapy session per week

  • Optional weekly group therapy, based on clinical need

This level of care is designed to offer consistent, structured support while helping clients manage daily challenges and sustain the gains made during more intensive treatment.

Aftercare

At Karuna Behavioral Health, we recognize that a structured aftercare program is essential for sustained recovery and long-term mental wellness. Our mental health aftercare services in Tampa provide clients with continued support, resources, and guidance after completing primary treatment such as Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or Outpatient Therapy.

Aftercare may include:

  • Regular follow-up therapy sessions with licensed mental health professionals

  • Access to support groups and community-based mental health resources

Our goal is to reinforce the tools and coping strategies developed during treatment, while offering a safe, supportive space to navigate life’s challenges.
