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 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
“They got me into orientation and group sessions within 2 days of my initial contact with them.”
I came into Charlie Health on the rebound of another major breakdown in my mental health because of a variety of difficulties in my life. After 6 months of roadblock after roadblock trying to get into an outpatient program, I finally found Charlie Health, and they got me into orientation and group sessions within 2 days of my initial contact with them, which was bewildering after 6 months of struggle! I was initially assigned to a trauma-focused group, which was a wonderful experience, but for my own goals in the program, I chose to switch to the skills-focused group. I loved both of the groups I was in, and we all formed a bond and a small community pretty immediately. The support and companionship I received from my group over the weeks was invaluable. That, paired with the wonderful individual therapist I've had and a psychiatrist who was very supportive of and focused on my goals, made this program a WONDERFUL experience for me. Everyone in my life has told me how much brighter and more present I seem now, and I also feel that positivity about myself!

“Going to group and individual sessions provided consistency and care when I desperately needed it.”
When I started going to group sessions at Charlie Health, I didn't think anything was going to change. I have always struggled with mental health and figured that was just how my life was going to go. However, I am happy to say that it has changed my life for the better. Going to group and individual sessions provided consistency and care when I desperately needed it. I appreciate everything I have learned while attending this program. It showed me that committing to yourself is worth it. We can find the time for ourselves if we look for it. We deserve to heal, and we do heal. Charlie Health is a major supporter and catalyst for healing. I appreciate the time I have had, all my group mates, and every facilitator I have met.
