Client & family testimonials
“It helped because I didn’t feel so alone in group.”
I was having really bad suicidal ideation before I got to Charlie Health and then I attempted suicide and then my school offered Charlie Health to me and I joined. I started in group sessions first and then I got in individual therapy and then I got into family therapy. It helped because I didn’t feel so alone in group and I got to talk to them about what was going on in my school life and my home life. And then I got to talk to my individual therapist about the things that happened and we talked through it. Then I went to family therapy and built a relationship with my dad and I built a better relationship with my mom and sister.

“It has truly helped me in so many ways that I can’t even explain.”
I was mentally abused and severely neglected for many years. I went through so much therapy and ended up in a mental hospital. I came out and joined Charlie Health which has helped me tremendously. I am so thankful for this program, and it has truly helped me in so many ways that I can’t even explain.

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 for 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!
