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
“They made me understand that I'm not alone.”
Absolutely loved every group member I met here. They made me understand that I wasn't alone and that I am worthy. I will remember them for the rest of my life. I could not have walked out of my severe depressive episode without them. To whoever is reading this: you and your pain are not alone in this world. There are people who share them. You will be okay - even if you don't believe it right now.

“The group therapy was the most helpful -- being able to talk to, identify with, and learn from other people in my age group.”
Charlie Health is a great IOP to help improve your mental health from the comfort of your own home. The group therapy was the most helpful -- being able to talk to, identify with, and learn from other people in my age group. We are not alone!

“Charlie Health got me through so much healing.”
Coming into Charlie Health, I was in a very bad place. I had just moved across the country, it was Christmas time, I had just gotten out of a very toxic and mentally abusive environment, and I almost immediately got into Charlie Health. It made me feel connected to kids my age and helped me create fantastic relationships that I hope to have for the rest of my life. Charlie Health got me through so much healing. I'm so thankful and believe that it is a fantastic tool for those who are struggling.
