The Middle Path™ offers both Individual Counseling (IC) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The difference is the intensity, frequency, and time commitment of treatment. IC usually requires 1-3 hours weekly and acts a lower-intensity, flexible follow-up or support for mild conditions. IOP requires more hours per week (9-30 hours) for severe symptoms or early recovery.

IC is best for individuals with mild mental health challenges, or those who have completed higher-level care and need maintenance. IC encourages more self management. At The Middle Path we refer to our IC as the "Bale Clinic".

IOP is ideal for someone transitioning from residential treatment, or needing to manage severe mental health or substance abuse disorders (moderate to severe) without 24/7 care. IOP provides high structure with more guidance. The Middle Path IOP is comprehensive, uses Dialectical Behavior (DBT) and offers a virtual sessions.

Free Intake Assessment. Meet with a therapist to discuss your current crisis and see if our program is the right fit for you
