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
“An amazing experience.”
This was an amazing experience. The people are kind, the group facilitators are amazing, and the Individual therapists are good. Charlie Health made me more confident in who I am and I started the process of learning how to better communicate. These nine weeks were amazing, especially after being stuck in one place for about a year with minimal human interactions. If someone is considering this, it is more than worth it.
—Jaden Q.
“I now have the skills and coping strategies to continue successfully in my life.”
Charlie Health is by far the best thing that I did for myself. The facilitators are very personable even in a group setting. They truly care about what they do and want to see you succeed. I'm so disappointed to be leaving but I know that I now have the skills and coping strategies to continue successfully in my life.
—Amanda C.
“I was able to work through my trauma.”
I was able to work through my trauma more so in group at Charlie Health than I was able to with years of solely Individual therapy. I learned how to apply new insights and perspectives to my personal life and even started sharing new ideas with families and friends.
—Natalia C.
