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 andsupport 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 can now confidently say I am a new, better version of myself.”
I entered Charlie Health extremely anxious, yet everyone was so supportive and accepting. I suffered from major depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms. Throughout Charlie Health, I acquired many useful coping skills and plenty of self-care skills. I can now confidently say I am a new, better version of myself. I feel I have the ability to de-escalate any situation I may come upon. I feel more in control of my emotions and my mental health challenges. I feel more like me.
—Kelsey P.
I didn't think group therapy was for me, but the Charlie Health staff and patients were fantastic at helping me be comfortable sharing my vulnerabilities and getting feedback.
—Ame-Miles Hart
“Charlie Health has really made a difference in my life for the better.”
I joined Charlie Health because I was in a really bad depressive episode, but Charlie Health gave me structure and safe people to be around. It helped me to open up and try new things outside of therapy and encouraged me to do things outside of therapy to help me get out of my depressive episode. Charlie Health has really made a difference in my life for the better. I'm now able to confidently say that I am no longer suicidal and I have hope for my future and know where to go if I ever do need help again. Getting help with mental health is hard but you are so worth putting in the work to have a stable mind.
