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.

“Thank you for helping me and thousands of others who are just like me.”
"I first heard about Charlie Health when my younger sister was going through a crisis. I was astonished to hear about a virtual IOP that was not only nationwide, but really putting in the work to get state healthcare approval as well. I figured if the program was quality, that it could have a tremendous impact on the lack of accessible mental health care in America. A few months later, I found myself in crisis, the lowest I had ever been. It felt like it was meant to be. The admissions team made me feel safe and cared for almost immediately. I can't thank them enough. Through my time here, I have had countless things come up where my mental health could have taken a nosedive. But I have been able to stay out of crisis to the aid of my peers and their support. I can't thank Charlie Health enough for the fantastic work that goes into putting everyone in relevant groups. I even met another person who has narcolepsy, a very rare sleep disorder. It was effortless to connect with my group mates. We always made sure to help each other up when someone was down, because we knew that it was just a matter of time before it was one of us. My assigned therapist has allowed me to turn my life around. I have never felt so seen and understood by a professional, I can tell she actually cares. I'm looking forward to continuing working with her moving forward. I can't recommend Charlie Health enough. I even would love to work for their tech department because I believe in the product that much. Thank you for helping me and thousands of others who are just like me."

“My primary therapist was amazing.”
"Charlie Health was a great experience. The groups provided a safe space for me to talk about my issues and they always set me up with people that were struggling with the same things as me, allowing us to develop a natural rapport. The group facilitators did a great job understanding our feelings and guiding us through the topics, clearing up any confusions we had, as well as being open to new ideas from our own experiences as well. At no time did I feel judged or pressured. My primary therapist was amazing; she was kind and smart, and she every week should would challenge me to see my mental health from a different perspective. She helped with a lot of methods to tackle my anxiety, and I will always remember the lessons and conversations we had. "
