Your next steps in care start here. The Guidelight team is ready to help.

Getting yourself or your loved one the right level of care in the days following a mental health crisis is your priority — and ours.

For many people, weekly therapy alone isn’t enough structure after an ED visit or inpatient psychiatric stay. Guidelight’s Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provide structured care to help you or your loved one stay safe, build coping skills, and continue healing while returning home each day.

At Guidelight, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care during a critical period of recovery. Research shows that starting treatment as soon as possible — and staying engaged through the full course of care — helps reduce the risk of returning to the emergency department.

We can help with:

  • Anxiety and mood concerns
  • Emotional dysregulation
  • Depression
  • Self-harm
  • Suicidality
  • Trauma

IOP — Intensive Outpatient Program

Five days a week, 3+ hours a day of group and individual therapy.
