Whether returning to college after treatment or preparing to begin college for the first time, the transition into academic life can be both exciting and challenging. New routines, increased independence, academic expectations, and social pressures can create added stress during an already significant period of growth. Confluence Transitions and Psychological Services is committed to helping young adults navigate this important milestone by providing comprehensive Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Outpatient (OP) services and coaching in Burlington, VT, that offer ongoing clinical support while empowering students to build confidence and independence.
For many young adults, maintaining progress after primary treatment requires continued therapeutic support that fits alongside everyday responsibilities. Confluence's IOP and OP programs are designed to provide individualized care while enabling participants to fully engage in college classes, part-time employment, internships, or other meaningful pursuits. Through individual therapy, group programming, family involvement when appropriate, and personalized treatment planning, participants receive the tools needed to manage stress, strengthen executive functioning, develop healthy coping strategies, and build resilience throughout the academic year.
"Our goal is to help young adults succeed not just in recovery, but in life," said Patrick Brown, one of the founders of Confluence. "Starting or returning to college is a major life transition, and having the right support can make all the difference. Our outpatient programs allow students to pursue their educational goals while staying connected to a clinical team that understands the unique challenges of this stage of life."
Confluence also offers coaching services to students seeking additional non-clinical support, such as case management, academic/career coaching, and social integration.
Located in Burlington, VT, Confluence’s IOP and OP services, as well as coaching packages, are designed to complement the independence young adults are working toward while providing the accountability and therapeutic support needed for long-term success. Whether someone is stepping back onto campus after treatment or beginning their college journey for the first time, Confluence helps ensure they don't have to navigate the transition alone.
