Are you looking for care in other areas?
Charlie Health's virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) is also available in other locations.
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'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.”
Before Charlie Health I felt very alone with my thoughts and feelings. I didn't know that it was normal to have all of these emotions. I didn't know how to co-regulate myself or my emotions until I came to Charlie Health. Now, I'm able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and most importantly the relationship I had with myself. I'm thankful for my experience and everyone I've met. I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.

“Very empowering and validating.”
I started Charlie Health in a very, very dark state. I was so low that I didn't know what to do. Slowly, as I learned to open up in group and implement some of the strategies covered, I gained more tools to be able to combat my obstacles. I am far from cured or even better than where I've always been, but for the first time, I feel like i have the methodology to get there. It's been very empowering and validating, I've learned so much about myself here.

“I was recommended Charlie Health and was very hesitant at first due to my trust issues, but once I started, my opinion quickly changed.”
I discovered Charlie Health by being admitted to the hospital after visiting the ER for heart pain due to anxiety. I was recommended Charlie Health and was very hesitant at first due to my trust issues, but once I started, my opinion quickly changed. I was able to get help for my anxiety and depression, and when I finished 12 weeks of the program, I felt great, although I would miss the friends I had made in the group since everyone was super nice. I was less anxious and stressed. I encourage anyone struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, etc., to give Charlie Health a shot, even if it’s your first time doing therapy. It’ll help you out in the long run.
