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
“I finally met people I could connect with .”
I never wanted treatment because I didn't want to get better. But after signing up for Charlie Health and engaging in group, I finally met people I could connect with. Opening up and sharing was hard, but once I gained a connection with them, I was staying for them. Charlie Health is an amazing support system that help me get through some of the hardest parts of my life.

“The definition of the light at the end of the tunnel.”

—Ace A.
“I've found a part of myself again, a spark of joy I haven't seen in myself in years.”
When I started with Charlie Health, I was in a really dark place. I was actively re-experiencing my trauma through flashbacks and deeply depressed. Charlie Health helped me realize what was happening, how to handle those flashbacks in the moment and the future, and also helped me learn what it means to be worthy. I feel like I've found a part of myself again, a spark of joy I haven't seen in myself in years. I've learned a lot of skills that I know will be in my toolbox for a long time. The bonds that I've made with my group and even the group facilitators has been so healing and validating.
