About Cornerstone Virtual IOP
We offer comprehensive virtual mental health care for Arizona adults and young adults facing life's challenges


Our Story
Cornerstone VIOP was founded with a vision to make great mental health care accessible to everyone no matter their location or circumstances. Our journey began when our founder and therapeutic professionals recognized the limitations of in-person therapy and programs. We decided to establish a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program that would break barriers, heal people, and support them in their daily lives long after they graduate our program.
Cornerstone combines the best aspects of traditional therapy with innovative digital resources. We do all of this to bring you a flexible solution for getting mental health care. A virtual program like ours is great for those who may need a little bit more support than virtual therapy and need the ability to attend but also meet the daily responsibilities of life.
