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
“The virtual nature of the program saved my life.”
Charlie Health showed up for me at a time when I needed support the most but was trapped in an area where the resources simply didn't exist. The virtual nature of the program saved my life because it kept me out of the hospital and in my home with my family. The other patients I met in my group spaces were the most supportive humans, and being able to connect with them about experiences that I felt so alone in was one of the most healing parts of my journey here.

“I was absolutely blown away by just how much I learned in the 12 weeks I was at Charlie Health.”
I was super skeptical of going into online therapy, specifically DBT, because I didn't think it would help compared to going to counseling/therapy in person. But I was absolutely blown away by just how much I learned in the 12 weeks I was at Charlie Health. The group sessions were always very informative, and the Group Facilitators talked you through so much and answered as many questions as you had. They're very engaging and help you dive deeper into your mind to help you, help yourself mentally. The one-on-one sessions with my therapist were even better! I didn't think I had any more to learn about myself, but they helped me to realize why I do things in a certain way or even what might've "rewired" my brain along the way. I 100% recommend Charlie Health to anyone who might be struggling mentally or just needs some help navigating through the difficult thoughts in their life.
