The teenage years can be some of the most challenging, filled with emotional ups and downs that can be difficult to navigate. As a parent, it can be heartbreaking to see your teen struggling to cope with overwhelming feelings. At Innerspace Counseling, we are committed to helping children, teens, and adults build healthier, happier lives. Based in Old Bridge, we proudly serve adolescents across New Jersey through our specialized Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). These programs provide the structured support, therapeutic guidance, and essential coping tools teens need to manage their mental health effectively.

Our Specialists Can Help Determine If Our Program Is A Good Fit For Your Child.
Our Programs
At Innerspace Counseling, we offer two specialized programs for adolescents: our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). Our IOP is designed for teens aged 12 and older, while our PHP serves adolescents between the ages of 14 and 18. Both programs provide structured, therapeutic support for those struggling with new or ongoing emotional and behavioral challenges, including anxiety, depression, OCD, self-harm, school or activity avoidance, and outbursts of anger. If your teen is experiencing mental health difficulties, our programs can provide the guidance, coping tools, and professional care they need. The appropriate program will depend on the level of support required to help them heal and regain stability.
Intensive Outpatient Program
At Innerspace Counseling, we go beyond traditional outpatient therapy to provide a more structured and comprehensive approach to adolescent mental health care. Rather than a once-a-week, one-on-one session, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) meets three times a week, incorporating multiple therapeutic methods to give your teen the support they need to grow and heal. This program includes individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and medication management when necessary, ensuring a well-rounded treatment approach.
To minimize disruption to your teen’s education, our IOP sessions are held in the evenings on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., allowing them to receive the care they need while staying on track academically.
Partial Hospitalization Program
For many teens, attending therapy three times a week—or even once a week—is enough to help them process their emotions and build healthy mental health habits. However, for those who require more intensive support or have recently been discharged from a hospital setting, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) may be the best option.
In our PHP, teens receive comprehensive, full-day care that includes intensive individual counseling, group therapy, family sessions, and medication management when needed. This program runs five days a week from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., providing a structured, supportive environment where teens can work on stabilizing their mental health.
One of the key benefits of our Teen PHP is our partnership with LearnWell, an educational program designed to help students stay on track with their schoolwork while they are absent from school. With in-program tutoring and academic support, teens can continue their education during treatment, making it easier to transition back to school once they complete the program.
The goal of our Partial Hospitalization Program is to help teens stabilize their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the least restrictive setting possible while ensuring they don’t fall behind academically. After completing PHP, most teens transition to our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), allowing them to gradually reintegrate into their daily routines while continuing their mental health journey.
Why Choose Innerspace Counseling?
At Innerspace Counseling, our mission is to help teens, children, and adults lead fulfilling, healthy lives. Beyond providing care during treatment, we are committed to equipping our clients with the tools and support they need to manage their mental health long after completing our programs.
When you enroll your teen in an Innerspace Counseling program, you can feel confident knowing they are receiving expert care from a team of highly trained, licensed psychiatrists and clinicians with years of experience in adolescent mental health treatment. Each teen benefits from a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs, ensuring they receive the most effective support for their mental and emotional well-being.
We understand that mental health challenges affect the entire family, not just the individual receiving treatment. That’s why we also offer parent support groups, providing a safe and understanding space for parents to connect with others facing similar challenges. These groups offer guidance, encouragement, and shared experiences to help you support your teen while also prioritizing your own well-being.
