Connecting the world to life-saving behavioral health treatment
How did Charlie Health
get its name?
Most people have a “Charlie,” someone they loved who struggled quietly or didn’t get the support they needed in time.
Charlie Health is named in honor of a close friend of one of our co-founders who passed away too early. Our name represents the people behind the statistics and drives our commitment to making life-saving care easier to access, when it matters most.

“Finding the right mental health treatment as a teenager changed the trajectory of my life forever.”
My own personal experience with serious mental health issues ignited my lifelong commitment to making high-quality care accessible to young people who are profoundly struggling.
By delivering Charlie Health’s treatment programs virtually, we’re bringing evidence-based solutions to those who would otherwise be falling through the cracks. Our outcomes demonstrate that, with the right treatment, healing is possible for everyone.
“Rather than continuing to search for a solution, we decided to create it.”
As a clinician who once grappled with mental health and substance use during my teen years, I was frustrated by the lack of quality treatment options available for my clients facing similar struggles.
Many individuals with serious mental health and substance use issues find themselves cycling in and out of emergency rooms, hopeless and uncertain about where to turn. Rather than continuing to search for a solution, we decided to create it.
Through our innovative treatment model, we analyze hundreds of thousands of data points to predict successful outcomes, tailor treatment plans, and maximize treatment effectiveness.
This is how we’re able to harness the power of connection. Ensuring that our clients are receiving treatment alongside people dealing with similar issues reinforces the fact that they’re not alone. We know that connection is the antidote to all human suffering – and that’s why Charlie Health works.
