When mental health symptoms begin to interfere with daily life, but full hospitalization isn’t required, the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at e-motion wellness™ offers the structure, intensity, and healing environment needed to restore balance. Designed for adults who need more than weekly therapy but want to stay connected to home and family, our PHP in San Antonio blends clinical depth with whole-body healing through movement, breathwork, neuroscience, and community integration.

A Modern Alternative to Traditional Mental Health Treatment

Unlike hospital-based programs focused solely on symptom containment, our PHP provides a proactive, multi-dimensional experience that empowers clients to reconnect with themselves—physically, emotionally, and socially. Clients spend five days a week at our San Antonio center, engaging in therapy, fitness, breath-led nervous system training, and experiential activities designed to create meaningful transformation.

What to Expect in Our PHP

Each day in PHP follows a structured schedule that activates healing from every angle:

• • • Therapist-Led Group & Individual Therapy – Deep, process-oriented therapy using modalities such as IFS, DBT, EMDR, ACT, and shadow work to target root-level emotional patterns.
    • Movement-Based Interventions – Guided physical activity designed to improve brain chemistry, reduce nervous system dysregulation, and increase motivation and focus.
    • Guided Breathwork & Sauna/Cold Immersion – Designed to stimulate the parasympathetic response and help clients rewire how they respond to stress.
    • Self-Concept & Identity Work – Exploring personal values, strengths, and internal narratives to cultivate long-term emotional resilience.
    • Outcome-Driven Progress Tracking – We monitor biometrics and key wellness domains to ensure each treatment path evolves alongside your growth.

How Emotion Wellness Is Different

Our PHP doesn’t just keep you safe—it sets the stage for full recovery. We address the whole person: biology, behavior, environment, and identity. Each client becomes part of our extended wellness community from day one, building real connection with staff, therapists, fitness instructors, and peers. This network of support continues even after PHP through step-down services and ongoing access to our fitness and breathwork community.

You’re not just attending a program—you’re joining a movement.

Transition Pathways and Step-Down Care

As clients stabilize, they’re supported through a tailored transition into our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or community-based wellness services. Our treatment team ensures continuity and momentum, so healing doesn’t pause—it evolves.
