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 andsupport 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
“If a time ever came again when I needed intensive mental aid, I'd gladly return to Charlie Health.”
I didn't know what to expect when I first joined Charlie Health. I felt a lot of anxiety initially. Since going through my treatment, though, I've seen improvements, felt better, processed better, and overall started doing so much better than at the start. I'm grateful for Charlie Health, and if a time ever came again when I needed intensive mental aid, I'd gladly return to Charlie Health and recommend it to friends and family.

“I found progress almost immediately.”
I came to CH as a last resort and found progress almost immediately. Therapy is hard work and I’ve found that you get out what you put in – this was especially true for CH. Group therapy is a great way to process difficult emotions by learning coping mechanisms and seeing how others deal with similar issues.
—Evan G.
“I was absolutely blown away by just how much I learned in the 12 weeks I was at Charlie Health.”
I was super skeptical of going into online therapy, specifically DBT, because I didn't think it would help compared to going to counseling/therapy in person. But I was absolutely blown away by just how much I learned in the 12 weeks I was at Charlie Health. The group sessions were always very informative, and the Group Facilitators talked you through so much and answered as many questions as you had. They're very engaging and help you dive deeper into your mind to help you, help yourself mentally. The one-on-one sessions with my therapist were even better! I didn't think I had any more to learn about myself, but they helped me to realize why I do things in a certain way or even what might've "rewired" my brain along the way. I 100% recommend Charlie Health to anyone who might be struggling mentally or just needs some help navigating through the difficult thoughts in their life.
