Are you looking for care in other areas?
Charlie Health's virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) is also available in other locations.
What is IOP?
Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) is a level of behavioral healthcare that is typically more structured and intensive than traditional weekly therapy.
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
The #1 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.
Who is IOP for?
People with ongoing mental health issues or in a mental health crisis
IOP is designed for individuals who need more treatment and support than can be provided through once-weekly therapy, but who do not require the level of care provided through residential or inpatient treatment.

In their words
What our clients say
“I am confident in my ability to tackle life.”
When I started Charlie Health, I was really struggling. The people here made me feel like I wasn't alone. They helped me ask for help when it got too hard and were here to pick me up when I was down. The people here are wonderful human beings who truly care about the work that they are doing. As I'm leaving Charlie Health, I am confident in my ability to tackle life. I believe that I have a purpose and a long life ahead of me.

“I was recommended Charlie Health and was very hesitant at first due to my trust issues, but once I started, my opinion quickly changed.”
I discovered Charlie Health by being admitted to the hospital after visiting the ER for heart pain due to anxiety. I was recommended Charlie Health and was very hesitant at first due to my trust issues, but once I started, my opinion quickly changed. I was able to get help for my anxiety and depression, and when I finished 12 weeks of the program, I felt great, although I would miss the friends I had made in the group since everyone was super nice. I was less anxious and stressed. I encourage anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, etc., to give Charlie Health a shot, even if it’s your first time doing therapy. It’ll help you out in the long run.

“I didn't think I'd be able to find help.”
Charlie Health has helped me regulate my negative emotions and discover what kinds of emotions I'm feeling in the moment, and figure out my boundaries. This was very much needed since emotions were my top issue to figure out alongside trauma. I have learned to not only accept my traumatic experiences, but come out as a survivor with people that understand what I went through. Charlie Health group therapy has helped me, and before group therapy, I didn't think I'd be able to find help. Thank you Charlie Health!!
