At Banyan Treatment Center, our women’s IOP group offers a safe, private, and flexible way to begin or continue recovery from home. HerSpace is a specialized telehealth program designed exclusively for women who want the structure of treatment without stepping away from their daily responsibilities. Whether balancing work, caregiving, or family obligations, this program provides compassionate care that fits into your life.

Through virtual IOP programs, you’ll connect with licensed professionals and other women who understand the challenges of recovery. Each session blends evidence-based practices with open, supportive dialogue so you never have to feel alone in your journey. With telehealth therapy, you can explore sensitive issues such as trauma, self-esteem, and boundaries in a space that values your voice and respects your experiences.

HerSpace extends beyond treatment sessions. It’s a chance to be part of a community of women working toward healing, balance, and renewed confidence. Here, recovery is not about fitting into someone else’s model; it’s about discovering strength in your own.

A Safe Space for Women in Recovery

Recovery looks different for everyone, and for women in recovery, the path often carries unique obstacles. Caregiving roles, emotional pressures, and the weight of social expectations can make it difficult to prioritize self-care. Many women also carry unspoken struggles related to trauma, relationships, or cultural stereotyping.

HerSpace was created to provide support for women who feel stretched thin, unseen, or misunderstood in their recovery. In this program, every woman is encouraged to speak openly without fear of judgment, knowing her experiences will be validated and respected.

With a curriculum focused on real-life challenges like setting healthy boundaries, rebuilding self-esteem, and addressing family-of-origin issues, our approach is designed to meet women where they are. This is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, HerSpace offers flexible, individualized recovery for women that honors both personal healing and the realities of daily life.

Healing Together: What We Treat in HerSpace

HerSpace is more than an outpatient track; it is a dedicated space for addressing the issues that many women carry silently. Our trauma IOP acknowledges the link between trauma and substance use, while offering pathways to healthier coping and long-term recovery.

Through our outpatient program for women, we treat a wide range of substance use challenges alongside co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. By combining therapy, peer support, and education, women gain tools for healing on multiple levels.

This intensive outpatient program for women also focuses on experiences often overlooked in traditional treatment settings: the effects of sexism, stereotyping, relationship struggles, and the emotional pressures tied to caregiving or professional life. By addressing these realities directly, HerSpace helps women move beyond survival toward growth and resilience.

Who We Treat 

HerSpace is designed for women seeking compassionate, evidence-based support in a space created exclusively for them. Our program serves women at many stages of life who are navigating mental health challenges, substance use concerns, or both.

We support women experiencing:

  • Substance use disorders, including challenges with alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and other substances
  • Primary mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and bipolar disorder
  • Co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders
  • Trauma-related experiences, including PTSD, complex trauma, and relational trauma
  • Pregnancy, postpartum, and perinatal mental health challenges
  • Major life transitions, such as divorce, pregnancy, loss, career changes, or identity shifts
  • The demands of balancing recovery with caregiving, work, or family responsibilities
  • A desire for a safe, female-only environment to process emotions, relationships, boundaries, and personal growth
  • Experiences with domestic violence, emotional abuse, or unhealthy relationship dynamics
  • Struggles with self-worth, shame, people-pleasing, or chronic self-criticism

HerSpace meets women where they are, offering a supportive, judgment-free environment where healing, connection, and empowerment are central to the recovery process.

Inside the HerSpace Curriculum

The women’s intensive outpatient program at HerSpace offers a curriculum that blends practical skills with emotional healing. Each week, participants engage in meaningful sessions that focus on the realities women face in recovery. Topics often include:

  • Building Healthy Boundaries – learning when to say no and how to protect your energy.
  • Navigating Emotional Pressures – understanding the balance between responsibility and self-care.
  • Strengthening Self-Esteem – developing confidence and self-worth through guided practices.
  • Healing Family-of-Origin Issues – addressing patterns rooted in early relationships.
  • Releasing Through Forgiveness – exploring forgiveness as a tool for peace and progress.

Assignments such as journaling, affirmations, and forgiveness exercises allow women to apply lessons between sessions and reflect on personal growth. Within the program, online women’s groups and a compassionate women’s support group online provide safe spaces for sharing, connection, and encouragement.

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or navigating early motherhood, you don’t have to do it alone.

Our all-women’s virtual program provides compassionate, evidence-based care designed to support women through this transition while allowing them to stay connected to their baby and daily life. Groups are led by master-level clinicians who understand the unique mental health needs of women, including those related to pregnancy and postpartum experiences.

This specialized expertise allows us to meet women and mothers exactly where they are, offering care grounded in warmth, understanding, and clinical excellence.

"Being with the women's group has been a really good experience. The setting is comfortable and private allowing me to feel safe while sharing some difficult stories. Dominica is a great leader and gently guides the new topic each session. I feel blessed to be a part of this special group."
