“IF YOU WANT TO GO FAST, GO ALONE.
IF YOU WANT TO GO FAR,
GO TOGETHER”
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH AFTER IOP?
When people step down from the safety and structure of Intensive Outpatient Programs, they often need a little more support than once-weekly therapy sessions. At After IOP, you'll find groups that will help ease you back into "real life" so that seemingly abrupt transition can feel smoother.
After IOP groups are not just for people stepping down from an IOP, but are open for those of you who may feel like you need a bit more support and structure in your life.
Getting better takes hard work, determination, and structure. At After IOP you'll get the tools and support you need to take your recovery to the next level and build the life you want.
Keep. Getting. Better.
WHAT GROUPS ARE OFFERED AT AFTER IOP?
"BACK TO LIFE. BACK TO REALITY."
Life Skills for Transitions
The "Back to Life. Back to Reality" group is a rolling 8 week group that helps you build a strong foundation for re-entry into "real life." Skills we cover include distress tolerance, life balance, time management, self-esteem building, interpersonal effectiveness, goal setting, anger management, cognitive awareness, mindfulness, sleep hygiene, and relapse prevention.
This group meets Tuesdays at 11am.
"I HATE WEEKENDS"
Weekend Support Group
Due to their unstructured nature, weekends can be a difficult time for many people in recovery from depression, anxiety or substance abuse. The "I Hate Weekends" group is an ongoing weekly therapy group that meets on Sundays to provide the support and structure needed to keep you on track and make your weekends better.
This group meets Sundays at 11am
"YOU CAN'T STOP THE WAVES,
BUT YOU CAN LEARN TO SURF"
Cognitive Therapy For Depression & Anxiety
This is an ongoing weekly support group for people who struggle with depression and anxiety. We combine techniques from cognitive therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and mindfulness to help you find the skills to ride the waves of life.
This group meets Tuesdays at 1pm
WHAT DO I NEED TO GET INTO A GROUP?
You need to have an individual therapist outside of these groups in order to be accepted. You also need to fill out and bring in your New Member Paperwork (click here).
WHAT DOES AFTER IOP COST?
A package of 8 group meetings is $600. If you would rather pay weekly, the cost of each group is $85.
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
I do not accept insurance, but will provide you with a Super Bill that will have the information you need to submit to your insurance provider.

Get On Track. Stay On Track.
Hi everyone! I'm Jesse, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who earned my Master’s degree in Social Welfare at UCLA and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Before I started After IOP, I was an individual and group therapist at both the UCLA Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital and The Camden Center. I am also the founder of MySoberRoommate.com, a website that helps people in recovery find sober roommates.
Over the past nine years, I have worked with a diverse population of individuals with varying diagnoses and am trained in multiple group and individual psychotherapeutic modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.
I specialize in the treatment of depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, bipolar disorders, sleep disorders, and issues surrounding gender and sexuality. I can help you learn to manage life's inevitable difficulties by empowering you to enact lasting and positive change.
