Partial Hospitalization Program

Think of PHP as a step just below inpatient care. It’s a highly structured program that runs 5 days a week, 6 hours a day. It’s designed for teens who need more support than weekly therapy or even IOP can provide, but who don’t need to stay overnight in a hospital. PHP helps stabilize more intense symptoms while still allowing your child to come home each evening. It focuses on safety, emotional regulation, and building a strong therapeutic foundation.

What are speech therapies?

Speech Therapy is a health profession that falls under the area of Human Communication Sciences. Speech therapy, is the diagnosis, management and treatment of individuals who are unable to communicate effectively or who have difficulty with feeding and swallowing. Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) assess speech, language, cognitive-communication, and oral/ feeding/ swallowing skills to identify types of communication problems (articulation, fluency, voice, receptive and expressive language disorders) and the best way to treat them.

Who needs speech therapy?

Screenings are abbreviated evaluations to determine if a child could benefit from further evaluation or if a child’s level of performance is age appropriate and no further evaluation is needed. If your child is found to have mild difficulties yet a full evaluation is not recommended, home programming ideas will be discussed so parents can facilitate these skills at home. If an area of concern is identified, a full evaluation will be recommended.

What do they do at speech therapy?

Parents are often invited into the treatment rooms to observe therapy if the situation is appropriate, and parent education is an integral part of every therapy session. Each session is designed to allow time for the parent and therapist to discuss progress and what was done during the therapy session. Home programs are provided to the parent to increase carryover in all settings and help the child be more successful in reaching their goals.

When is the therapy needed?

An evaluation allows a speech therapist the opportunity to assess your child’s development. This assessment may include a standardized test, observation through play, medical history information, and/or parent report. In most cases, it includes all four. Through the evaluation, it will be determined if treatment is necessary. Treatment at Kid’s Creek Therapy cannot be initiated unless an evaluation has been completed.

PHP is the highest level of outpatient care—designed for those who need intensive support during the day but can still return home at night.

Here’s how it works: clients come to our center five days a week for several hours each day, participating in a full schedule of therapeutic activities. This includes group therapy, individual therapy, family sessions, and medication management. The program is structured like a healing classroom—providing consistency, routine, and a safe place to stabilize emotions and develop strong coping tools. For teens, we also provide academic support to help them stay on track with school.

PHP helps people who are struggling with severe anxiety, depression, or emotional dysregulation regain balance without a hospital stay. It’s a supportive, short-term option that builds a foundation for long-term wellness—while keeping families connected and involved.

At Logos Horizon, we know how challenging it can be for families to support a teen who is struggling with their mental health. Barriers to education, finances, and transportation can make it even more challenging to get your teen the help they need. We’re here to help you break these barriers with educational assistance, flexible financing, and transportation options. Explore our options for getting access to the help you need.

J. Todd Baker, PhD., LPC-S, BCN
President / Founder

Dr. Baker’s approach to therapy is driven by the power of relationship. A healthy therapeutic relationship provides a safe space to encourage, challenge, and support the client through whatever the situation or circumstance. This same concept is found in the Intensive Outpatient and Partial Hospitalization curriculum, which is focused more on building the necessary relationship to allow the client to process feelings and emotions in a safe and supportive environment.

Although a healthy therapeutic relationship is the key to motivate change, there are specific techniques that are. used that can significantly help clients process their feelings while also engaging their logical brain. To engage the logic brain means they can learn, apply, and practice these techniques by choice rather than at the whim of emotion.

“I believe the therapeutic process is less about technique and more about relationship. When there is a healthy and appropriate therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client there is a great motivation for change.”

Paul Wright, MD, MPH
Medical Director

Dr. Wright’s unique approach to helping patients is refreshing, rooted in science, compassionate, comprehensive and hopeful. Some might also even describe it as refreshingly old-fashioned.

How can something be leading-edge and old-fashioned at the same time? Great question. Leading-edge approaches, old-fashioned care. The way Dr. Wright cares for his patients feels like the kind of care you might have received decades ago when house calls were common. Where your doctor looked you in the eye, taking the time and asking the questions required to dig deeply into the issue at hand.

A holistic approach to mental health factors in lifestyle, environment, sleep habits, diet and exercise as much as it considers experiences, trauma, diagnoses and symptoms of mental illness. This more in-depth, holistic approach to looking at the whole person takes time. Investment. Attention. Three things Dr. Wright is committed to giving each patient he works with.

“I won’t sit behind a computer screen taking notes during your session. I prefer to be fully engaged, jotting down notes by hand if needed. I would describe my sessions as relaxed, comfortable, unrushed, and purposeful.”
