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 am confident in my ability to tackle life.”
When I started Charlie Health, I was really struggling. The people here made me feel like I wasn't alone. They helped me ask for help when it got too hard and were here to pick me up when I was down. The people here are wonderful human beings who truly care about the work that they are doing. As I'm leaving Charlie Health, I am confident in my ability to tackle life. I believe that I have a purpose and a long life ahead of me.

“I had never met other people like me.”
Before Charlie Health, I had never met other people like me. Going through the program with people I could relate to for the first time in my life…it made me feel seen. My group validated my experience in a big way. The connection to a community and having the means to do that via Charlie Health- that’s meant everything to me in terms of my mental health journey

“Every single person I interacted with in the Charlie Health ecosystem was kind, understanding, and helpful.”
Charlie Health was incredibly helpful for me at a time when I was struggling so much with my mental health. The groups were amazing, and the support and validation from my fellow group members were so helpful and made me feel like I was not alone. The group facilitators were very helpful and compassionate, making learning about coping skills enjoyable. My primary therapist was amazing as well. He was very compassionate and understanding with everything I shared with him. Every single person I interacted with in the Charlie Health ecosystem was kind, understanding, and helpful. I would recommend Charlie Health to anyone.
