Arizona Tribune - Clarity Clinic Expands PHP/IOP Mental Health Programs to Evanston, Providing Greater Access to Care

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS / ACCESS Newswire / February 6, 2025 / Clarity Clinic, a leading provider of mental health services in Illinois, is expanding its Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs to its Evanston location to better serve individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and other mood-related disorders in the northern suburbs. Following the success of its PHP/IOP program at the Chicago Loop location, Clarity Clinic is making its comprehensive mental health programs more accessible to adults and adolescents in need of structured care.

Beginning February 17, Clarity Clinic will launch its Adult PHP/IOP program for individuals 18 and older, offering afternoon and evening sessions to accommodate different schedules. On March 17, the clinic will introduce its Adolescent PHP/IOP program, designed for teens ages 13-17, providing a specialized level of care tailored to the unique mental health needs of adolescents.

"We're excited to bring our PHP and IOP programs to Evanston, expanding access to high-quality, holistic mental health care for adolescents and adults," said Dr. Stacy Lott, COO of Clarity Clinic. "Guided by our commitment to excellence in patient care, we strive to provide compassionate, innovative treatment that empowers individuals on their path to wellness."

Comprehensive Care for Adults and Adolescents

Clarity Clinic's PHP and IOP programs are designed for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but don't require inpatient hospitalization. These programs provide a structured, multidisciplinary approach, including:

• Evidence-based group therapy focused on coping skills, emotional regulation, and symptom management

• Individual therapy tailored to each patient's unique needs

• Family therapy to improve communication and foster long-term recovery

• Flexible scheduling to accommodate school, work, and personal responsibilities
