Online therapy in Iowa
In Iowa, 128,000 adults have a serious mental illness.
More than 90% of Charlie Health clients reported improvements in their most severe mental health symptoms.
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
Self-harm used to be my go to for whenever things became too much in life. Because of Charlie Health, I now have a plethora of different techniques to help keep my physical and mental being safe. The facilitators have nothing but my best interest in mind, and all other patients treated me with nothing but kindness and compassion.

“I can safely say Charlie Health has drastically improved my life.”
Midway through my sister's time at Charlie Health, I also decided to join for my substance use. Looking at the progress I've made, the skills I've learned in group therapy, and the fun I've had with my family in family therapy, I can safely say Charlie Health has drastically improved my life. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who may be dealing with neurodivergence, family issues, self-image issues, depression, anxiety, and many more problems that therapy may be able to solve and subdue.

“Groups taught me incredible concepts and coping skills.”
Charlie Health was an amazing program to bridge my time in mental health inpatient care to my day-to-day life. I had the most thoughtful individual therapist which truly gave me hope in the mental health system. The process and alternative therapy groups taught me incredible concepts and coping skills. The care team is extremely responsive, which never made me feel alone. I am so grateful for this program and would recommend to any young adult who is looking to transform their mental health journey.
