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 leaving the program feeling hopeful about life, with more coping skills, and with strategies for reframing thought patterns.”
When I started in Charlie Health, I was suicidal and staying with a family member as part of my safety plan. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for Charlie Health. I am leaving the program feeling hopeful about life, with more coping skills, and with strategies for reframing thought patterns. Thank you!!

“I left the program feeling like I was not alone and my feelings mattered.”
This was my first ever mental health therapy, and I couldn't be more grateful that it was Charlie Health (CH). I was skeptical and anxious, but I loved it and 100% recommend it. I recommended CH to anyone struggling with postpartum depression because the therapist and group facilitators are very understanding and approachable. The bond I formed with my group is amazing. We all formed lifelong friendships, and they became my safe haven. I couldn't thank CH enough because they paired me with the perfect group and made my mental health journey comfortable and relatable. I left the program feeling like I was not alone and my feelings mattered. Thank you, CH.

“Charlie Health has given me a better outlook on myself.”
Charlie Health has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I knew I was struggling and needed help, but I didn't think there was a place for me to obtain the support I needed. I was hesitant about starting the program, but I quickly saw how beneficial it was for others and became more comfortable with opening up about difficult topics. When I started the program I had a lot of resentment regarding my upbringing and the trauma I had to endure as a child and teenager. Since being able to process and learn skills, I have been able to start letting go and healing through my trauma. My relationship with my wife has improved so much and we are no longer considering ending our relationship. I can accurately express my thoughts and feelings much better than before. Charlie Health has given me a better outlook on myself and life while providing me with tools to continue on my healing journey and one day become the person I never thought I could be.
