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 have learned to love myself and give myself grace.”
When I first started Charlie Health, I suffered from severe depression, anxiety, alcohol abuse, and social anxiety. Charlie Health taught me great things to keep me on track in my recovery journey. I now have the tools and skills to make positive changes in my life! I have learned to love myself and give myself grace!! Also, the group sessions helped tremendously in dealing with my social anxiety. I now feel more comfortable communicating with others without substances! Thank you all for everything you do.

“A unique and functional program.”
As a clinician working in an acute mental health hospital, it is a daily challenge to find outpatient programs for adolescents. Charlie Health has been a godsend on so many levels. Working with them has been smooth and effortless, and they are quick to respond with any questions I bring to them. The team works with clients and families to overcome any barriers, whether it be insurance or financial struggles. This program not only offers support for the clients, but for their families as well. I highly recommend Charlie Health; it is a unique and functional program with highly competent staff and programming.

“I'm leaving this program knowing that I am enough.”
When I first started with Charlie Health, my mental health was at an all-time low, to the point I was suicidal. The skills I have learned have helped me gain a better relationship with my husband, my family, and most importantly, with myself. I went from constantly talking negatively about myself to now hardly ever having negative thoughts. I'm leaving this program knowing that I am enough. I've also made what I think will be some lifetime friends.
