Intensive In-Home Therapy
Intensive In-Home Therapy (IIH) is family therapy that happens in your home, several hours a week, for children and teens who need more than weekly outpatient sessions.
Being in the home lets the therapist see how the family actually interacts and what is making things harder for the child, and work on solutions that fit the real living situation rather than an office version of it.
IIH is most often used when a child is at risk of being placed outside the home, is coming home from a hospital or residential program, or has emotional or behavioral problems severe enough to affect the whole family.
The therapists are licensed and specialize in children, teens and families, including family members who would rather not be in the room.
The work covers the child’s needs and the household around them: communication, parenting strategies, sibling relationships and the home environment.
IIH is time-limited, usually three to six months, with specific goals set at the start.
Call (270) 689-6879 or request an appointment online. Walk-ins are welcome at our outpatient locations.
What to Expect
It starts with a family assessment at home. After that the therapist visits several times a week, four to eight hours in total, meeting with the whole family, individuals, or both.
As things stabilize, you and the therapist plan the step down to ongoing support and community resources.
