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
“Charlie Health works if you want to get better and put in the work.”
I was really struggling with a lot of things before I came to Charlie Health. I came here feeling iffy about it. I didn't want to talk about the things going on, but after the first week or two I started opening up to my group members and facilitators, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a mom to 3 beautiful babies and was struggling with addiction and being able to handle things. Being a mom is hard and I didn't know how to deal with my emotions in a healthy way. I'm learning new things everyday -- being able to deal with life on life's terms. I'll be 100 days into my sobriety as of tomorrow and feel more confident in what I'm doing everyday. I'm making strides and have everybody in Charlie Health to thank for helping me through the past few months. Charlie Health works if you want to get better and put in the work! If I ever needed to come back, I know they'll still be here. I'm so grateful for Charlie Health, my group members, and amazing therapists and facilitators.

“Charlie Health has given me a better outlook on myself.”
Charlie Health has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I knew I was struggling and needed help, but I didn't think there was a place for me to obtain the support I needed. I was hesitant about starting the program, but I quickly saw how beneficial it was for others and became more comfortable with opening up about difficult topics. When I started the program I had a lot of resentment regarding my upbringing and the trauma I had to endure as a child and teenager. Since being able to process and learn skills, I have been able to start letting go and healing through my trauma. My relationship with my wife has improved so much and we are no longer considering ending our relationship. I can accurately express my thoughts and feelings much better than before. Charlie Health has given me a better outlook on myself and life while providing me with tools to continue on my healing journey and one day become the person I never thought I could be.

“I finally feel like I can be the person I want to be.”
Charlie Health has provided me with the tools I needed to get through my daily life and overcome the obstacles I felt with lifelong PTSD. Each group facilitator offers a unique perspective on topics, and the people I met along the way inspire me. My individual therapist, Elizabeth, and I immediately clicked, and we resolved many of my traumas. I finally feel like I can be the person I want to be. Thank you to the wonderful staff at Charlie Health!
