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
“Now I feel like I can handle anything that life throws at me.”
When I first started with Charlie Health, I was in a very dark place and having dangerous thoughts. But as life continued to bombard me with all of these stressors, Charlie Health gave me the tools and skills to deal with them. Although things kept getting worse, I kept getting better. Now I feel like I can handle anything that life throws at me! I will certainly miss my fellow group members and the facilitators, but I'm grateful for the time I've had with them and everything they've taught me.

“I left the program feeling like I was not alone and my feelings mattered.”
This was my first ever mental health therapy, and I couldn't be more grateful that it was Charlie Health (CH). I was skeptical and anxious, but I loved it and 100% recommend it. I recommended CH to anyone struggling with postpartum depression because the therapist and group facilitators are very understanding and approachable. The bond I formed with my group is amazing. We all formed lifelong friendships, and they became my safe haven. I couldn't thank CH enough because they paired me with the perfect group and made my mental health journey comfortable and relatable. I left the program feeling like I was not alone and my feelings mattered. Thank you, CH.

“ I got my sparkle back; I love this version of myself.”
Before Charlie Health, I was going down a rabbit hole where my mental health was at an all-time low. I had this huge trauma cloud that began to take over my life in an extremely unhealthy manner. Charlie Health has been absolutely life-changing for me. I am now sleeping again and have fewer panic attacks and PTSD triggers. I can regulate my emotions and work through my childhood trauma. Charlie Health gave me the availability to learn how to find who I am, how to be happy, learn the skills, and be at peace even with everything I have been through. I got my sparkle back; I love this version of myself. Charlie Health saved me.
