Client & family testimonials
“I’d recommend Charlie Health to anyone.”
Before Charlie Health I felt very alone with my thoughts and feelings. I didn’t know that it was normal to have all of these emotions. I didn’t know how to co-regulate myself or my emotions until I came to Charlie Health. Now, I’m able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and most importantly the relationship I had with myself. I’m thankful for my experience and everyone I’ve met. I’d recommend Charlie Health to anyone.
—Katelyn W.
“My primary therapist was amazing.”
My primary therapist was amazing. She thought outside of the box and was able to provide additional trauma therapies that my outside therapists had never thought of. Continuing to ensure therapists are at the cutting edge of therapy techniques is very helpful for clients.
—Charlie Health Alum
“An amazing experience.”
This was an amazing experience. The people are kind, the group facilitators are amazing, and the Individual therapists are good. Charlie Health made me more confident in who I am and I started the process of learning how to better communicate. These nine weeks were amazing, especially after being stuck in one place for about a year with minimal human interactions. If someone is considering this, it is more than worth it.
—Jaden Q.
What is IOP?
Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) is a level of behavioral healthcare that is typically more structured and intensive than traditional weekly therapy. It is designed for individuals who need more treatment and support than can be provided through traditional outpatient services, but who do not require the level of care provided through residential or inpatient treatment.
The goal of IOP is to provide individuals with the support and treatment they need to manage their mental health issues and achieve lasting recovery, while still allowing them to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities.
Curated groups
By bringing people with similar mental health challenges together, we’re able to create group environments where clients can learn how to build connections and foster long-term healing.
Individual therapy
One-on-one connections are critical to the IOP model, which is why each client’s unique treatment plan includes a primary therapist for weekly individual sessions.
Family therapy
A leading predictor of success in IOP is family involvement. Our virtual intensive outpatient program’s family therapy component teaches communication and coping skills to create a more supportive home environment both during and after treatment.

FAQs about IOP
See All FAQsWhat is virtual IOP?
Virtual Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) is a level of mental healthcare that is typically more structured and intensive than traditional once-weekly therapy. Treatment is delivered to clients directly at home.
There are two main reasons someone may enroll in an IOP:
- A recent discharge from a residential treatment program (behavioral health or substance use), partial hospitalization program, or an emergency department.
- If they are already attending weekly therapy but are continuing to struggle with their mental health.
IOPs include multiple group, individual, and family sessions per week. The goal of IOP is to help people manage their mental health and achieve lasting recovery while still allowing them to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities.

How do I know if Charlie Health’s virtual IOP is right for me or my loved one?
Our primary treatment offering – virtual Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) – is an appropriate level of care for those who need more than once-weekly therapy. Many of our clients have either recently discharged from a higher level of care (e.g., residential, inpatient, emergency room) or are seeking more support than traditional weekly talk therapy (outpatient).
While typical outpatient treatment involves one therapy session per week, our virtual IOP offers multiple hours of treatment per week. At Charlie Health, each client receives a customized treatment plan that includes three group sessions per week, one individual therapy session per week, and one family therapy session per week. We also offer psychiatric services as needed.
Different therapy modalities are used throughout sessions, creating a truly comprehensive treatment program.
How long is the program?
Our program typically lasts 9-12 weeks; your exact discharge date will depend on your overall treatment progress. Your Primary Therapist will help determine the best discharge date for your needs. View a sample schedule and learn more about how it works here!
