Virtual IOP in the Inland Empire
Kin Wellness runs a virtual intensive outpatient program for adults in Riverside and San Bernardino counties, from Corona, Riverside and Moreno Valley to Temecula, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga and San Bernardino.
Groups and individual sessions happen by video, so you get structured care three to five days a week without the drive. Most major PPO and HMO plans. New clients can start right away.
FROM THE INLAND EMPIRE
How it works from the Inland Empire
From home, three to five days a week
You join three hour sessions of small group and individual care from home or any private space, on the morning track (9 AM to 12 PM Pacific) or the evening track (5 PM to 8 PM).
EMDR and medication by video too
EMDR and medication appointments with Dr. Joe DeSanto, MD can happen by video, so the whole program works without coming in.
If you ever want to come in
Our only office is in Fountain Valley, in Orange County. Individual sessions, EMDR with the NeuroTek EyeScan lightbar and medication appointments can happen there. Groups always meet by video.

WHAT YOUR WEEK LOOKS LIKE
What a week in the program looks like
MORNING TRACK
9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Pacific, Monday through Friday. Three hour sessions of small groups led by licensed clinicians. Some groups teach skills you can use that same week, some explain what is happening in your mind and body, and some are space to talk through what is going on.
EVENING TRACK
5:00 PM to 8:00 PM Pacific, Monday through Friday, for people who work during the day. The same groups as the morning track, so you do not miss anything by choosing the evening.
AROUND THE GROUPS
Individual sessions with your therapist at least once a week, a treatment plan built around your goals, and medication management if it is part of your care. How medication management works
QUESTIONS
Questions people in the Inland Empire ask
Do I have to drive to Fountain Valley?
No. The whole program can happen by video. The office is there for anyone who wants an in person session.
Can I do EMDR without coming in?
Yes. Your therapist guides the bilateral stimulation over video. In person EMDR with the lightbar is available at the office if you prefer.
I live in San Bernardino County, not Riverside. Does that matter?
No. We work with adults anywhere in California.
Do you take my insurance?
We work with most major PPO and HMO plans. Call 949.706.8610 or send us a message and we will check your benefits before you commit to anything. We do not currently accept Medi-Cal.
If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline) or call 911. Our program is not an emergency service.
