IOP Marketing
Attract appropriate clients to your intensive outpatient program.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
IOP marketing is different from traditional therapy marketing—different audience, different needs.
Marketing your IOP program? Intensive outpatient programs serve a specific level of care. You need clients who need more than weekly therapy but less than residential. Marketing must communicate your program’s structure, intensity, and appropriateness.
The challenge is reaching people at the right moment. Many IOP clients are stepping down from higher care, referred by providers, or in crisis. Generic therapy marketing doesn’t work for this level of care.
What you need is IOP-specific marketing. Strategies that explain your program, reach appropriate referral sources, and help the right clients understand if IOP is right for them.
Is This Right For You?
This is for you if:
- You run an IOP program
- You need to fill program spots
- You want referral relationships
- You need level-of-care marketing
- You differentiate from weekly therapy
- You offer only weekly therapy
- You don't have structured programs
- You want general practice marketing
This may not be right if:
- You offer only weekly therapy
- You don't have structured programs

Trusted by Mental Health Professionals
Mental Health Marketing has helped me build several websites for my businesses over these last few years. I've been thrilled with their work and believe their designs have greatly contributed to the success of my practices (I get lots of compliments on the websites!). Both Aaron and Josh are also great to work with–warm, creative, and very reasonable with their pricing.
I've worked with Aaron Carpenter and his team for several years and have been nothing but impressed with the way that they keep the project going to meet the goals I have set. Aaron has created a team of professionals who really know what they are doing. They are terrific project managers who make sure the job gets done right within the scope that we agreed on. I love Mental Health Marketing!
I can not say enough good things about Mental Health Marketing. They helped me take a nugget of an idea and explode it into a seven figure business. They offer concierge level service. Design work is top notch. In a world of "good enough" workmanship – Mental Health Marketing is that rare company that is never satisfied and always striving for perfection.
