Welcome to Serenity! We are so glad you are here! This page provides general information about our Postpartum Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP program). Serenity Wellness is Utah’s leading specialty clinic for the treatment of maternal mental health issues. Unlike other practices, we only focus our attention on treating Perinatal Mental Health Disorders and the unique challenges prevalent in parenthood.
The IOP program is comprised of group therapy in ad
dition to individual therapy. Group therapy includes the mom group which meets three times per week and the partner group which occurs once per week. Each mom group is comprised of a processing session led by a therapist and an education session also led by a therapist. Individual sessions occur at a frequency determined by you and your individual therapist.
A more in-depth description:
Mom Group: All groups begin at 10 am and end at 1 pm. Childcare is provided for children over 12 months old during all mom groups. Babies under 12 months are welcome to accompany the mother in the group setting.
Mom Groups take place every week on the following days and times:
Monday: 10 am-1 pm
Tuesday: 10 am- 1 pm
Thursday: 10 am-1 pm
Partner Group: Partner Group is every Wednesday night. Partner group is for you and your significant other. It is an educational group (not a processing group). Dinner is always provided. Childcare for children over 12 months is periodically provided but not guaranteed. You are welcome to bring your children and they may play in the childcare room, but you will be responsible for meeting their needs during the group. A lot of couples like to treat this as a reoccurring date night (which we completely condone).

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to attend all groups to be enrolled in the IOP program?
Your insurance typically requires that you engage in 9 therapeutic hours of treatment per week. This means that if your schedule cannot accommodate all the groups each week you may miss one group session per week.
How long is the group program?
Typically the group program is 12 weeks in length but we always take into consideration what each individual client needs.
Can I bring my children to my sessions?
Childcare is provided at our Riverton Facility for all children 12 months and older.
Babies under 12 months are always welcome to come with each mom into mom group sessions.
Childcare for partner groups is not provided but children can be accommodated though from experience it is best to find childcare on these nights so that both you and your spouse can focus on your relationship.
