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've had people tell me I'll never be okay, but after this journey with Charlie Health, I've been feeling better than ever.”
I've been in and out of hospitals and different therapist for over 10 years, but nothing worked or even made a dent due to their approach. Charlie Health was short but very helpful as it is adjusted to fit your personal experience. I've had people tell me I'll never be okay, but after this journey with Charlie Health, I've been feeling better than ever.

“Charlie Health saved my life.”
Charlie Health saved my life. I was in a really dark place before starting and was not sure I would ever be able to get out of it. After completing Charlie Health, I have found so many ways to cope with my anxiety and depression that I can now use every day.
—Logan J.
“I found progress almost immediately.”
I came to CH as a last resort and found progress almost immediately. Therapy is hard work and I’ve found that you get out what you put in – this was especially true for CH. Group therapy is a great way to process difficult emotions by learning coping mechanisms and seeing how others deal with similar issues.
