• In occupational therapy (OT), patients will have the opportunity to improve their roles and routines. They will be able to reconnect with meaningful and purposeful life occupations through creative craft-based activities including: painting, candle making, woodworking, copper tooling, mosaic tiling, sewing, gardening, and sometimes meal preparation or cooking. Patients may opt to spend their OT session time completing “adulting” tasks such as: paying bills, completing paperwork, resume writing, or email management. Finally, patients may choose to explore volunteer opportunities, leisure activities, hobbies, or engage in job searching, and work preparation activities.    

• Primary therapists, nursing staff, and OTs on the team. 

• PHP/IOP serves individuals in the community that have struggled with acute and severe mental health disorders including, but not limited to Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Posttramautic Stress Disorder. We also offer a thought-disorder track for patients with symptoms of psychosis.
