SAN ANSELMO, Calif. - Rosebay Behavioral Health, a mental health treatment provider based in San Anselmo, is drawing attention to a gap many Bay Area adults fall into: the point where weekly therapy is no longer enough, but inpatient care would be more than the situation calls for. Rosebay's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for exactly that point, offering adults across Marin County, San Francisco, the East Bay, and the Peninsula a higher level of support without stepping away from daily life.
The gap is a common one. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, an estimated 23.1 percent of U.S. adults lived with a mental illness in 2022, and only about half of them received mental health treatment in the past year. Many who do get care start with a weekly appointment, and for a large number of people that is the right fit. For others, symptoms keep building: anxiety that starts shaping every decision, depression that has not lifted after months of sessions, mood swings that are straining relationships, or trauma symptoms that flare under stress. When progress stalls, the next step is often unclear.
Rosebay's structured intensive outpatient care for adults across Marin County fills that space. Clients attend treatment several days each week and return home in between, which allows them to keep up with work, school, and family responsibilities while receiving far more support than a single weekly session can provide. The program combines individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy when appropriate, with evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Somatic experiencing, mindfulness practices, and stress management work round out a plan built around each client's needs.
The program treats a broad range of conditions, including depression and bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety and panic disorder, borderline and avoidant personality disorders, schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, and trauma-related conditions such as PTSD and complex PTSD. Group sessions give clients a place to practice new skills alongside others facing similar challenges, while individual work keeps treatment focused on each person's goals.
"Weekly therapy helps a great many people, but it is not designed for someone whose symptoms are escalating," said Chris Hammett, Chief Executive Officer of Rosebay Behavioral Health. "Intensive outpatient care gives people several days of focused treatment each week without asking them to put their lives on hold. For a lot of adults, that is the difference between treading water and making real progress."
IOP also serves as a step-down option for adults leaving Rosebay's inpatient or partial hospitalization programs, giving them continued structure as they return to daily routines. Because Rosebay offers inpatient care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient care, and outpatient services, each client's level of care can be adjusted as their needs change, without starting over with a new provider.
"People often wait until things become a crisis before looking for more help," Hammett said. "The better time to reach out is when weekly therapy stops being enough. That is exactly what this level of care is for."
Rosebay serves adults from across Marin County and the wider Bay Area, including San Rafael, Mill Valley, Larkspur, and Novato, and offers intensive outpatient options for San Francisco residents who prefer treatment just across the Golden Gate Bridge. Each admission begins with an assessment to determine the right level of care, and the admissions team at Rosebay's mental health treatment center in San Anselmo, CA provides complimentary insurance verification. Anyone in crisis can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at any time.
