Virtual Intensive Outpatient Therapy

Virtual Intensive Outpatient Therapy provides young people ages 13–17 with treatment for general depression and anxiety, common conditions among many teens. We offer the education and skills that can help prevent bad situations from worsening and can help our patients better handle today’s world.

What to Expect

Virtual therapy is less complicated than inpatient treatment but significantly more intensive than traditional outpatient therapy, which is sometimes limited to one hour a week.

Patients meet with psychiatrists and therapists three times a week for three hours for six weeks.
Since treatment happens while participants are at home, the teens receiving this care can often keep a work or school schedule.
Patients can practice the new skills they have learned with friends and loved ones at home.

Insurance

We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield of NC, the North Carolina State Health Plan and other commercial plans if the service is covered.
UNC Financial Assistance is available for those who are uninsured and unable to pay for the service. Self-pay is also an option.

Physician Referrals

To make a referral in Epic, select “AMB REFERRAL TO PSYCH” and “UNC PSYCHIATRY IOP CHAPEL HILL” as the location.
Referrals can also be faxed to 919-957-6613.

During treatment, teens participate in group and one-on-one and/or family therapy sessions that help them to:

Build coping skills such as handling strong emotions and getting through challenging experiences.
Learn details about anxiety and depression as well as building stronger relationships.
Focus on the shared experiences of depression and anxiety with the message that no one is alone.
