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
“I'm leaving this program knowing that I am enough.”
When I first started with Charlie Health, my mental health was at an all-time low, to the point I was suicidal. The skills I have learned have helped me gain a better relationship with my husband, my family, and most importantly, with myself. I went from constantly talking negatively about myself to now hardly ever having negative thoughts. I'm leaving this program knowing that I am enough. I've also made what I think will be some lifetime friends.
—Sandra H.
“This program helped save my life.”
I felt lost and alone before I was referred to Charlie Health, but once I got into groups and got comfortable, I felt more seen and heard. This program helped save my life and taught me skills I'm going to use for the rest of my life.
—Carter M.
“I am confident in my ability to tackle life.”
When I started Charlie Health, I was really struggling. The people here made me feel like I wasn't alone. They helped me ask for help when it got too hard and were here to pick me up when I was down. The people here are wonderful human beings who truly care about the work that they are doing. As I'm leaving Charlie Health, I am confident in my ability to tackle life. I believe that I have a purpose and a long life ahead of me.
—Samantha S.
