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.

What our clients say

Charlie Health helped me successfully navigate a tough transition time to full-time employment!

—Charlie Health Alum

“Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program.”

I was in a dark place when I started Charlie Health. I was either going into a hospital or going to die. Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program and made sure I had the backing and support I needed right away. I was able to advocate with work about my needs with my primary therapist's support. Everyone in groups were so nice and helpful.I loved connecting with people going through struggles like mine.

Especially if you're someone who is LGBTQIA+ or Neurodivergent, just know that I will ALWAYSSS and FOREEVERRR fight for our rights! You deserve the space and equal opportunity to express yourself, your identity, your sexuality, your experiences, your personality, and other aspects of yourself and your mind however you so please. This is YOUR space, make the most of it :3 you got this homie! I believe in you; remember, you're always valid, no matter what. You are YOU, and that makes you pretty dang swag. I love you, and I'm for sure that there are people out there who feel similar, if not the same, but even if it doesn't feel like that, please reach out to your resources! You're never alone; there are people out there who will support and accept you for who you genuinely are; I know I do!
