The Stepwell Difference

Care designed around you, not the other way around.

Most outpatient programs fit clients into a fixed schedule and a standard curriculum. We do the opposite. Every person who walks through our doors receives a treatment plan built from their own story, their own diagnostics, and their own goals. We call this the Prescribed Care Model, and it is the foundation of how we work.

  1. 01

    Prescribed Care Model

    Individualized plans informed by comprehensive assessment, not a fixed track.

  2. 02

    Speed to Admission

    Most clients can begin care within days, not weeks.

  3. 03

    Seamless Transitions

    Move between PHP, IOP, Evening IOP, and Outpatient as your needs evolve, without changing providers or starting over.

Our Programs

A full continuum of outpatient care.

Whether you need structured daily support or flexible weekly sessions, Stepwell offers the right level of care at the right time, with the ability to step up or down as your progress unfolds.

    PHP

    ~20 hrs / week

    Partial Hospitalization

    Our most structured outpatient program. Approximately 20 hours per week of therapy, medical oversight, and group work, without the disruption of a hospital stay.

    IOP

    9–10 hrs / week

    Intensive Outpatient

    Evidence-based group and individual therapy, typically 9–10 hours per week. Designed for clients balancing recovery with work, family, and daily life.

  3. A man preparing dinner in a sunlit kitchen at golden hour, with a Hill Country twilight sky beyond the window.

    Evening IOP

    9–10 hrs / week

    Evening Intensive Outpatient

    The same intensive care as our standard IOP, scheduled in the evening for clients with demanding daytime commitments. A flexible option for working professionals, parents, and caregivers.

    OP

    As scheduled

    Outpatient

    Ongoing individual and group therapy for continued growth after a more intensive program, or as a standalone level of care. Stepping down keeps you with the same clinical team.

What We Treat

The whole person. The whole picture.

Healing rarely stays in one category. Our clinicians are trained to treat mental health, substance use, behavioral patterns, and life transitions as interconnected, because they are.

  1. Mental Health

    Anxiety. Depression. PTSD and trauma. Bipolar disorder. OCD. Grief and loss. Dual diagnosis. And more.

  2. Substance Use

    Alcohol. Opioids. Fentanyl. Stimulants. Prescription medications. Cannabis use disorders.

  3. Behavioral Health

    Process addictions. Compulsive behaviors. Phone and social media overuse. Disordered eating patterns.

  4. Life & Relationships

    Couples and family therapy. Relationship difficulties. Grief and loss. Major life transitions.

Advanced Diagnostics

Treatment starts with understanding.

Before we build your plan, we listen. And we measure. Stepwell integrates advanced diagnostic tools that most outpatient centers do not offer, giving your clinical team a more complete picture of what is happening in your brain, your biology, and your life.

Built by Lake Travis, for Lake Travis.

The Stepwell Center was founded by longtime Lakeway residents who saw a gap in our community: there was no place for adults in Lake Travis to receive truly personalized, outpatient mental health and addiction care without leaving the people and routines that ground them.

We are not a hospital. We are not a spa. We are a modern outpatient center where every room, every conversation, and every treatment plan has been designed with dignity, discretion, and the highest standard of care in mind.
