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
“I fell in love with the program.”
Before Charlie Health, I had never wanted to do therapy because I never trusted someone with my personal issues. I was willing to give this a try because why not, right? But after the first group that I attended, I fell in love with the program because of how inclusive and safe the environment was.

“The light is back in my life.”
I came into CH not knowing who I was. I was heartbroken and not doing well mentally and physically. I didn't have anyone in my life who saw or heard me in this way. I see the changes within myself. The light is back in my life. I was able to process 22 years of trauma in a safe space. I met so many amazing people. My light is back. I'm seeing my worth within myself. I have had the most amazing 4 months in CH. I feel a night and day difference in my life. I'm feeling happier and healthier; I feel worthy of everything and more. Thank you so much for this amazing program. It has made a huge difference in my life.

“I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was hopeful it would help. And help it did.”
I knew that I needed therapy, but I didn't really know where to start. When my doctor referred me to Charlie Health, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was hopeful it would help. And help it did! While its focus isn't on any specialty and more on generally coping with life and relationships, I needed that groundwork to help me heal further. I feel much more balanced and grounded than before being part of CH. It may seem like a lot to do each week (and sometimes it is), but having that kind of atmosphere and routine for this program is so important and worth it. Everyone is so nice and helpful, and you'll never feel alone when you join your therapy group, even if you feel that way everywhere else.
