The Programs
Two steps up from weekly therapy, neither a step away from home.
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are two steps up from weekly therapy, without stepping away from your life. You meet with a small group and a licensed clinician several days a week, learn skills you can use the same day, and go home afterwards to your family, your job, and your routine.
Your mental health is our mission.
San Antonio Counseling & Behavioral Center Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs
Licensed, experienced clinicians
Our groups are led by Licensed Professional Counselors, Licensed Clinical Social Workers, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists, and psychologists.
Family stays in the picture
We bring family in when it helps, so what you work on in group is supported at home.

How It Works
From the first call to the day you no longer need us.
-
A free call
Tell us what’s going on. We’ll talk through which level of care fits, PHP or IOP, and match you with a clinician who takes your insurance, usually within 48 hours.
-
A plan that’s yours
Your first session is an assessment with a licensed clinician. Together you set goals for the program, and we revisit them as you go.
-
Group, several days a week
Small groups led by a licensed clinician, every weekday in PHP or three days a week in IOP. Skills for managing hard emotions, relationships, and the situations that keep knocking you down.
-
Step down, not out
PHP steps down to IOP, and IOP steps down to weekly counseling with us. The same practice, the same people who know your story.

- You’re working through something hard while also managing everything else.
- You’re open to being in a group with others going through similar things.
