The Wellness Studio Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a first-of-its-kind psycho-oncology IOP offering multi-dimensional mental health care to address the psychological, emotional, behavioral and spiritual needs of adults who are battling cancer and their loved ones fighting alongside them. Treatment includes more intensive services than traditional outpatient care, with an emphasis on group counseling multiple days per week, supplementary individual and family counseling, as well as psychiatric evaluation and medication monitoring. As Louisiana’s first IOP to offer psycho-oncology mental health care, The Wellness Studio IOP team is comprised of a multi-disciplinary group of practitioners, including our medical director (a psychiatrist who herself is a cancer survivor), a therapy dog, and masters and doctoral level mental health professionals with a wide range of experience, training, and specialty certifications to meet the needs of our diverse community. The IOP team also includes other cancer survivors and survived widows. Most importantly and above all … the Wellness Studio cares.
