This Mental Health Awareness Month: How a 1-Week IOP Can Jumpstart Healing
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to not only reduce stigma, but to recognize the importance of timely, effective care. At OCD & Anxiety Treatment of Houston (OATH), we believe that awareness should lead to action, and that seeking support, whether for yourself or a loved one, is a powerful step forward.
That’s why we’re offering our 1-week Summer Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): a focused, evidence-based opportunity for healing designed for teens, young adults, and adults struggling with OCD and anxiety.
Why Mental Health Awareness Month Matters
Awareness is more than a hashtag. It’s about acknowledging that mental health deserves the same attention and urgency as physical health. Anxiety, OCD, and related conditions can silently interfere with daily life - often going unaddressed for far too long.
But with the right tools and support, people can thrive—not just survive.
What Makes This Summer IOP Different?
This isn’t a long-term commitment. It’s a 1-week structured program that delivers focused, actionable treatment using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)—the gold standard for OCD and anxiety. It’s also led by experienced clinicians who specialize in evidence-based care.
We offer customized tracks for:
- Teens navigating school stress, intrusive thoughts, and social anxiety
- Young adults facing life transitions, burnout, or avoidance
- Adults looking to regain control over chronic anxiety or OCD symptoms
Whether you’ve been in therapy before or this is your first time reaching out, this intensive format allows for meaningful progress in a short period.
A Time to Prioritize Your Mental Health
Mental Health Awareness Month is the perfect time to ask yourself—or a loved one—an important question: What if I didn’t have to keep pushing through alone?
Our Summer IOP is a safe, supportive place to pause, reset, and begin learning how to respond to anxiety in a new way.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, we invite you to join us. Healing is possible and it can start now.
