Why Choose Overstory?
What Do Our Programs Entail?
Group Therapy
Group therapy works with small groups of like-minded peers and focuses on education and skills development. Topics might include “How to manage depression” or “Building healthy habits to improve anxiety.” Our curriculum utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) interventions that are evidence-based.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is one-on-one time with your therapist to work jointly on your challenges and potential solutions.
Medication Management
Our psychiatric team prioritizes a holistic approach to mental health, incorporating medication when it would add meaningful value to your care. We work closely with you to prescribe and adjust medications in a personalized manner.
Family Support Counseling
Sometimes it helps to incorporate family and friends in the recovery journey. Our team will work with you to identify your support system and how they can contribute to your healing.
Connection to Resources
An Overstory team member will work with you to identify areas in your personal life where you need hands-on support, whether that be hobbies, housing, food security, career and job planning, and more. Furthermore, Overstory Health will ensure continuity of care by making necessary referrals post discharge and collaborating with any current or new providers.
When I first came to Overstory, I was constantly confused and stressed out. Now, I am better able to manage my emotions and have a positive impact on those around me.
Overstory supported me at my lowest point. They were professional, understanding, helpful, and VERY supportive. I wouldn't be here now, feeling healthier and more renovated if it weren't for every single person I came in contact with, including my IOP group members. Thanks to all of them for saving my life and for showing me how much you care!
I am not someone who engages in group therapy but these sessions changed my mind. Everyone had different situations they were dealing with but there was a "common ground" in that we all were committed to learning skills and it felt like an open place to share your feelings so you could get input/insight.
