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 now stand tall with attainable goals in mind and a future just around the corner.”
I came into this program beginning in CBT, where I was taught how to build myself back up and put the pieces back together. I came back in later for follow-up trauma therapy, where I learned how to forgive myself, live in the moment, and let them go. I now stand tall with attainable goals in mind and a future just around the corner. I appreciate Charlie Health, all of the group facilitators, and my individual therapist.

“All of the groups and individual therapists helped me build a foundation for finding myself again.”
I came to Charlie Health with five years clean and sober, but stuck in the worst depression and anxiety of my life and going through an eviction. I was a single mother working full time and going to school, so I didn't have much time to seek or fit in treatment, but I knew I needed help. Charlie Health was awesome from the start—supportive, understanding, and non-judgmental. All of the groups and individual therapists helped me build a foundation for finding myself again, taking a look at the role trauma has played in my life and circumstances, and helped me stand on my feet and formulate solid goals for rebuilding my life.

“I feel healed in my heart.”
Charlie Health saved my life from being filled with self-doubt and my worst impulsive thoughts. I found people who really got it and just wanted to see me thrive. People who helped me really understand in my body and mind that I wasn't crazy but that I really survived abuse. I think this program and the staff and clients alongside me are some of the people I can confidently say I will always hold in the highest esteem. I will remember every moment of this experience because I truly believe that I met the most compassionate and loving people I will ever know. Thank you to you all, I feel healed in my heart.
