Serving Downingtown and the Brandywine Valley

Downingtown sits farther west than most of the towns we serve, and its residents tend to tell us the same thing: there are therapists nearby, but very little in the way of structured, multi-day care with psychiatry built in.

We see clients from the borough, East Caln, Uwchlan, East Brandywine, and Thorndale. If you have been working through our anxiety screening worksheet for Downingtown residents, that is a reasonable place to start the conversation with our admissions team.

Getting Here from Downingtown

About 25 to 30 minutes (approximate) Route 113 North

Pick up Route 113 North in Downingtown and stay on it through Uwchlan and Kimberton to Kimberton Road. Allow about 25 to 30 minutes. It is a simple route with no highway, though the stretch through Lionville gets busy at school dismissal.

In-Person or Virtual IOP from Downingtown

A three-evening-a-week drive is manageable for many Downingtown clients, and our in-person evening IOP runs 6 to 9 PM. For others, especially train commuters getting home late from Philadelphia on the Paoli/Thorndale line, Virtual IOP removes the second commute entirely.

Partial Hospitalization runs during the day in Phoenixville when symptoms need daily attention.

Insurance for Downingtown Residents

We are in-network with Highmark, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Geisinger, Amerihealth, Ambetter, and Allied Trades. Our admissions team verifies your benefits for free, usually the same day, and tells you exactly what PHP or IOP will cost before you commit.
