Our Approach to Intensive Therapy
Overstory offers expert-reviewed, flexible, and compassionate mental health care tailored to individual needs, with personalized goals and whole-person support.
The Overstory clinical model has been reviewed by a multi-disciplinary team of clinician experts at McLean Hospital.
We offer both in-person and virtual treatment for those in our care, giving you the flexibility to choose what's right for you and your schedule.
Each one of our clients is consulted about individual needs outside of chronic mental health challenges to ensure whole-person care.
We work with you to set treatment goals and monitor your progress, but we recognize that "success" isn't one-size-fits-all. We’re here to define success together.
Frequently Asked Questions
Personality disorders are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors, including childhood trauma, family history, and brain structure or function abnormalities.
Personality disorders affect about 9% of the general population, with borderline personality disorder affecting about 1.4%.
Through evidence-based individual therapy, facilitated group therapy, medication management, and a non-judgemental environment, Overstory’s programs treat personality disorders.
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) helps treat personality disorders by providing structured treatment with multiple weekly sessions, focusing on individual therapy, group support, and skills development. It offers a more intensive level of care than regular outpatient therapy but allows participants to live at home and continue with daily activities.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) helps with personality disorders by providing intensive therapy and support, including individual and group sessions, to address symptoms, improve coping skills, and promote stabilization. It offers a structured environment during the day while allowing individuals to return home in the evenings, promoting recovery without the need for 24/7 inpatient care.
Everyday challenges are temporary difficulties that most people can overcome, while a personality disorder involves long-standing patterns of thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that significantly impair a person's ability to function in relationships and daily life.
Duration in Overstory’s programming will depend on individual need but is expected to last two to six weeks.
