In-Person
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides a structured, immersive treatment experience for those needing more support than traditional outpatient care.

Our Methods

Treatment Methodologies

Understanding Our Evidence-Based Treatment Techniques

At Altura, we utilize a variety of evidence-based treatment methodologies to ensure you receive the most effective care:

This therapy focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to mental health issues. CBT is effective for treating anxiety, depression, phobias, and more by helping you develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving.
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices. It’s particularly effective for individuals with borderline personality disorder, suicidal ideation, or self-harm behaviors. DBT helps you manage emotions, improve relationships, and build a life worth living.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR is a specialized therapy for trauma and PTSD. It involves processing traumatic memories through guided eye movements, which can help reduce the emotional impact of these memories and promote healing.

Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI is a collaborative approach that enhances motivation and commitment to change, especially useful for substance use disorders and other behavioral issues. It helps you explore and resolve ambivalence about change, empowering you to take positive steps forward.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

MBSR incorporates mindfulness practices to reduce stress and improve overall well-being. Techniques such as meditation, body scanning, and mindful movement help increase awareness and acceptance of the present moment.
ACT encourages you to accept negative thoughts and feelings while committing to behavior changes that align with your values. This therapy helps you develop psychological flexibility and live a more meaningful life.
