Anxiety doesn’t require you to press pause on your life to find relief. At Redefine Wellness & Treatment, our Scottsdale outpatient program draws from over 20 therapeutic modalities. We have hand-selected specialists—not generalists.
The experts we work with are trained in trauma resolution, neuroscience, functional medicine, somatic healing, and so much more.
This guide walks through our clinical approach and how to determine if our program aligns with your goals. Here’s how Redefine’s outpatient grief therapy program is different.
- What to Know
Key Takeaways
- Flexible scheduling that protects your life - Choose 3-5 days per week, 4 hours per day (8:30-12:30).
- 20+ modalities under one roof - From neurofeedback and EMDR to red light therapy and lymphatic drainage, you're not limited to talk therapy alone.
- Your program, built by specialists - Work with experts in trauma resolution, neuroscience, and somatic healing who design your specific protocol—not a generic anxiety template.
- Clinical rigor meets nervous system regulation - Evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, brainspotting) paired with somatic practices that actually calm your physiology.
- Body-based healing beyond breathing exercises - PEMF therapy, reiki, neurofeedback, and somatic experiencing address where anxiety lives in your nervous system.
- Healing that extends beyond symptom management - Our naturopathic and functional medicine providers address underlying imbalances while therapists work on behavioral patterns.
What Is Outpatient Treatment for Anxiety?
Outpatient treatment occupies the middle ground between weekly therapy appointments and round-the-clock care. In an IOP, you’re looking at structured blocks of time—typically morning or evening sessions—where multiple therapeutic approaches converge.
Think of it as concentrated healing: group processing, clinical interventions, and skill development compressed into 3-4 hour segments. The real differentiator? You’re testing everything in real life that same day.
The anxious thought patterns you identify at 9 AM get challenged during your 2 PM work meeting. It’s treatment designed for people who need more than an hour a week but can’t (or shouldn’t) extract themselves from their actual lives.
- Recent Studies
According to the American Psychiatric Association’s 2024 “Stress in America” survey, 43% of U.S. adults reported feeling more anxious than they did the previous year.
How Outpatient Anxiety Treatment Works at Redefine
At Redefine, your IOP experience starts each morning in a space intentionally designed for healing with calming water features, aromatherapy, and natural light. Our program runs Monday through Friday, 8:30-12:30, with flexible attendance of 3-5 days based on your needs.
Your daily structure includes:
- Experiential or skills groups for somatic grounding and practical tools
- Psychoeducation groups that explain the neuroscience behind anxiety
- Neurofeedback sessions to retrain anxious brain patterns
- Weekly one-on-one therapy with specialists trained in EMDR, brainspotting, or somatic experiencing
- Optional add-ons like red light therapy or lymphatic drainage between sessions
What makes this different: Our clinical team pulls from over 20 modalities to build your specific protocol. You’re not moving through generic anxiety modules. Instead, practitioners who specialize in trauma resolution, neuroscience, and somatic healing adjust your treatment plan as you progress. Group sizes stay small, fostering real connection rather than classroom-style lectures. Most clients complete 4-24 weeks, though your timeline depends entirely on your goals and response to treatment.
Benefits of Choosing Redefine For Healing From Anxiety Disorders
Healing from anxiety isn’t about fixing one single thing. It’s about learning how to live again — to feel connected, hopeful, and in control of your own story.
At Redefine Wellness & Treatment, our Scottsdale outpatient program combines clinical expertise, neuroscience, and holistic care so you can move forward without losing yourself in the process.
Here are 7 key elements that make outpatient anxiety treatment effective — and why this kind of care truly lasts.
1. Mapping your nervous system's patterns through neurofeedback
2. Resolving stored trauma through body-based therapies
Instead of scheduling separate appointments for therapy, psychiatry, naturopathy, and body work across town, everything happens under one roof. Your providers actually talk to each other, creating cohesive treatment rather than fragmented care.
3. Flexibility That Respects Your Life
4. Reprocessing core beliefs through intensive trauma work
5.Building distress tolerance through graduated real-world exposure
Your body holds the story of your experiences. Somatic therapies like breathwork, gentle movement, and Yin yoga teach your body how to release stored tension and return to a state of calm. By tuning into the body’s cues, you learn to recognize what safety feels like — creating a foundation for lasting emotional resilience.
- Quick Tip
Most outpatient anxiety treatment programs are covered by insurance, making care more accessible than many people realize.
Verifying your coverage only takes a few minutes and can help you understand your options before starting treatment. Within a few hours, we can check the details of your policy and develop a plan to get you started.
Who Is Outpatient Treatment Right For?
Outpatient care at Redefine works best for people who need more than weekly therapy but want to maintain their home and work life. You’re an ideal fit if anxiety is significantly impacting your functioning but you’re stable enough to engage with treatment while managing daily responsibilities.
This level of care suits you if:
- You’ve tried traditional therapy but need more intensive support to break through persistent anxiety patterns
- You’re motivated to do the work and can commit to 3-5 days per week of programming
- You have a safe, supportive living environment (or can arrange one locally)
- You’re ready to address root causes, not just manage symptoms with medication
- You want comprehensive care that includes neuroscience, somatic work, and clinical therapy
Specific Types of People Who It Can Be Effective For
The following people often see major success with our Intensive Outpatient Program:
- Professionals experiencing burnout alongside anxiety who can’t leave work for months
- People with complex trauma who need specialized, intensive treatment but don’t require 24/7 monitoring
- Those dealing with anxiety plus co-occurring issues like depression, ADHD, or past addiction
- Individuals who’ve completed residential treatment and need structured step-down support
- Anyone whose anxiety hasn’t responded to conventional approaches and wants access to 20+ modalities
Outpatient isn’t right if you’re in acute crisis, actively using substances, or need medical detox. We’ll help you find appropriate care if you need a higher level of support first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does outpatient depression treatment work?
Outpatient anxiety treatment provides structured therapy and support while you continue living at home. Clients attend scheduled sessions for counseling, medication management, or group therapy several times per week. This flexibility allows you to heal, learn coping skills, and maintain daily responsibilities like work, family, and school without needing inpatient care.
What therapies are used to treatment depression?
Outpatient anxiety programs use evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and interpersonal therapy. These sessions may include group counseling, medication management, and holistic methods such as mindfulness or art therapy—helping clients identify thought patterns, manage symptoms, and build practical coping strategies for lasting emotional health.
How long does treatment last?
The length of outpatient anxiety treatment depends on your needs, goals, and progress. Most programs last anywhere from six weeks to several months, with sessions multiple times per week. Some people continue ongoing therapy or medication management afterward to maintain stability and support long-term recovery from anxiety.
How effective is Outpatient Treatment?
For many people, outpatient treatment is highly effective—especially if symptoms are moderate and you have a supportive home environment. It provides structure and accountability while offering flexibility. Inpatient care may be more appropriate for severe or crisis situations, but outpatient programs often deliver excellent long-term outcomes for motivated individuals.
Can you attend outpatient depression treatment while working?
Yes. Many outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are designed with flexible scheduling so you can keep your job or attend school. Sessions often happen in the mornings, evenings, or weekends, making it easier to balance mental health recovery with your everyday routine while still receiving consistent clinical support and accountability.
Does insurance cover outpatient depression treatment?
Most major insurance plans cover outpatient mental health services, including therapy and medication management. Coverage varies by provider, copay, and network, but the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires insurers to offer comparable benefits for mental health. Verifying your insurance before starting treatment helps avoid unexpected costs and delays.
