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'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.

“Very empowering and validating.”
I started Charlie Health in a very, very dark state. I was so low that I didn't know what to do. Slowly, as I learned to open up in group and implement some of the strategies covered, I gained more tools to be able to combat my obstacles. I am far from cured or even better than where I've always been, but for the first time, I feel like i have the methodology to get there. It's been very empowering and validating, I've learned so much about myself here.
—Sarah N.
“It ended up being very comforting to hear other people's stories.”
Before Charlie Health I was not in a very good relationship. It took a huge toll. I ended up having to go to the hospital, and that’s when Charlie Health was recommended to me. I’d never done group sessions, so I was really nervous, but it ended up being very comforting to hear other people’s stories. After treatment, I met up with my ex, and he said he wanted to get back together, but I told him I didn’t trust him in the way I needed for a relationship. I never expected to be able to stick up for myself, and it definitely showed how much I changed through Charlie Health.
