Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Oregon

When you’re looking for support, getting to care shouldn’t be another barrier. Many adults search for Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) services near them, and virtual care makes it possible for adults ages 18 and older to access structured treatment from anywhere in Oregon—without traveling.

At Portland Mental Health & Wellness (PMHW), our Virtual IOP provides the same thoughtful, relationship-based care as our in-person program, delivered securely through telehealth. Virtual IOP allows adults to receive consistent, meaningful support while remaining at home and continuing daily responsibilities.

How Virtual IOP Works

Adults in Virtual IOP participate in scheduled group and individual sessions using a secure telehealth platform. This approach allows you to:

Attend sessions from home or another private location
Maintain work, school, or family responsibilities
Receive consistent care regardless of where you live in Oregon

Virtual IOP follows a consistent weekly schedule, providing the same structure and expectations as in-person care. Sessions are led by licensed clinicians who are part of PMHW’s dedicated IOP team.

Who Virtual IOP Is a Good Fit For

Virtual IOP may be a good option if you:

Are experiencing anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm
Need more support than weekly therapy alone
Prefer or need remote access to care
Live outside major metro areas or have limited transportation
Want structured treatment without the stress of commuting

If you’re unsure whether Virtual IOP is the right fit, guidance is available to help you explore your options.

Group therapy several days per week
Individual therapy with a consistent clinician
Practical tools to help manage emotions and navigate everyday challenges

Sessions are guided by what the group is experiencing, allowing care to stay flexible, responsive, and personal.
