Questions people ask before starting

How far is it, and is there parking?

We are at 228 Saugatuck Ave in Westport, just off Exit 17 on I-95, with free parking on site. Most of our clients drive fifteen to thirty minutes.

Can I keep working while I do this?

Yes — that is what an IOP is for. Groups run mornings and evenings, three to five days a week. Most of our clients keep their job or stay in school the whole time.

Is the virtual program the same as in person?

Same clinicians, same group curriculum, same weekly hours. The difference is that you join by secure video instead of driving to Westport.
