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 started to see a change in the way I think and the way I feel about myself.”
When I first started Charlie Health, I was at an all-time low. I didn’t love myself, and I didn’t see the point in living after being treated like nothing by my ex-girlfriend. After giving Charlie Health’s groups a try, I started to see a change in the way I think and the way I feel about myself. If it wasn’t for taking that risk and participating, I don’t know where I would be now.

“I made connections with people who struggle with the same things as me.”
Charlie Health provided me with a place to stop and reflect on my life and mental health like I have never done before. I learned strategies and tools that work for me and I made connections with people who struggle with the same things as me. I would highly recommend their program.
—Samantha C.
“I loved my therapist and group facilitators.”
Mental health can be really dangerous when you are so deep-rooted in fear. Having this consistent support and reminders of my own worth has been so beneficial. I made beautiful art and made some of my closest friends in Charlie Health. I loved my therapist and group facilitators. They all knew how to listen and see things from another perspective. I am very grateful for that open-mindedness and overall safe place to feel my feelings.
—Emerson T.
