Is IOP the Right Mission for You?
In 2026, the VA and TRICARE have expanded IOP mental health access to prevent inpatient hospitalization. Our program allows you to receive high-level care during the day while returning home to your family at night.

The Physiological Edge
Building on Fernando’s Sports Science specialization (UNIFESP), our IOP doesn't just treat the mind—it treats the body's response to trauma. We utilize biological regulation techniques within our intensive groups to help "Tactical Athletes" lower their baseline cortisol levels and regain autonomic control, a critical step for long-term resilience.
