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
“Every bit of it is so worth it.”
"I've been struggling with depression and my mental health for about ten years. I've been in four different inpatient facilities; my most recent therapist said she hadn't seen any improvement and was giving up on me as a client. I was in the psychiatric hospital for a week before being discharged, and part of my discharge plan was to attend Charlie Health. I was hesitant at first, I had always been told to avoid online therapy, just because it lacked the connection that in-person experiences had, but I live in a rural area, and the opportunity to connect with other people of the LGBTQ+ community who were struggling with the same experiences I was sounded too good to pass up. Charlie Health's group therapy has helped me in so many ways. Not just with getting to meet people in the same community as me, even though that alone is amazing and an experience that should be treasured on its own. The group facilitators are all experienced and have their own stories to tell, and their own expertise to share. Every client that comes through has their own unique story, their own unique perspective on the world, their own unique identity that you get to learn. Hearing these stories, learning from these people - you don't realize it at first, but it's all part of the process. Every bit of it is so worth it."

When I joined Charlie Health, I was at a very low point. Charlie Health probably saved my life. The group experience was very impactful. It’s the common support and common ground that we all have. Even if we don’t all have the same traumas, we may have gone through something similar and have advice for each other. I think it’s a beautiful thing. After joining Charlie Health, I finally quit my job and started pursuing something I genuinely have a passion in.

“ I'd recommend this to anyone and everyone struggling with anything in daily life or needing support for any issues.”
I have been struggling with my mental health issues for 20+ years with no luck from counseling and therapists. It took finding the right program that I truly needed to help overcome my problems such as my endless years of trauma, depression, BPD, and much more. This program helped me in more ways than one. And I couldn't be any happier and more grateful for their help and support. They helped me to heal and realize things I never did before. I could actually see myself improving and healing for the first time in my life. This program and its people saved me and my life more than once. I'd recommend this to anyone and everyone struggling with anything in daily life or needing support for any issues including mental and physical. Thank you so much Charlie health you're my savior.
