Mood & Trauma Treatment
Our Mood and Trauma Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed to help you feel grounded, supported, and empowered. We offer comprehensive care for adults (18+) navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and any other mental health challenges that feel overwhelming.
Mood & Trauma Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Designed for adults 18 and over, this virtual program offers holistic, trauma-informed support 3–5 days per week. It can serve as a step-down from higher levels of care or as a direct entry point for those seeking structured support. The program includes individual therapy, group therapy, a personalized treatment plan, and oversight from a full clinical team.
Our approach supports healing of mind, body, and spirit through evidence-based trauma treatment (including psychoeducation and Internal Family Systems), along with embodiment practices, creative expression, and mindfulness meditation. We honor all beliefs, faiths, and spiritual practices and welcome clients to draw on what feels meaningful to them.
The Lotus Collaborative offers one of the Bay Area’s first outpatient mood and trauma programs designed to feel safe, warm, and accessible, supporting you as you move toward greater steadiness, connection, and wellbeing.
Programming
Therapy
Each client will meet with their therapist individually for a 45-50 minute session once per week. Individual sessions may take place during or outside of program hours, based on client and staff availability.
*Outpatient Therapy: Clients are encouraged to continue outpatient care during treatment at Lotus as schedules allow. Lotus therapists will coordinate care with outpatient providers with your consent when clinically appropriate. If you do not have an outpatient treatment team, you will be provided referrals to local therapists, psychiatrists, and other professionals as necessary.
Groups
Each program day includes three groups that include skill building, emotional processing and experiential application of tools.
Groups in the treatment week include: Trauma Psychoeducation, Distress Tolerance, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness, CBT / DBT / ACT and Expressive Art.
Occasionally there will be guest facilitators to bring specialty topics like nutrition or sound healing.
