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 had never met other people like me.”
Before Charlie Health, I had never met other people like me. Going through the program with people I could relate to for the first time in my life…it made me feel seen. My group validated my experience in a big way. The connection to a community and having the means to do that via Charlie Health- that’s meant everything to me in terms of my mental health journey

“Going to group and individual sessions provided consistency and care when I desperately needed it.”
When I started going to group sessions at Charlie Health, I didn't think anything was going to change. I have always struggled with mental health and figured that was just how my life was going to go. However, I am happy to say that it has changed my life for the better. Going to group and individual sessions provided consistency and care when I desperately needed it. I appreciate everything I have learned while attending this program. It showed me that committing to yourself is worth it. We can find the time for ourselves if we look for it. We deserve to heal, and we do heal. Charlie Health is a major supporter and catalyst for healing. I appreciate the time I have had, all my group mates, and every facilitator I have met.

“Charlie Health makes a good space for you to feel connected and not alone.”
After fighting my eating disorder for years, I discovered that my real root problem was my depression. I didn't want to recover from my eating disorder because I didn't want to live at all. After utilizing Charlie Health to focus on my major depressive disorder, I have found that I have been able to maintain my ED recovery for six months, which is the longest I have been able to maintain in years. Charlie Health makes a good space for you to feel connected and not alone. Everyone is from different backgrounds, yet united under a common fight to get better, to heal.
