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
“An amazing experience.”
This was an amazing experience. The people are kind, the group facilitators are amazing, and the Individual therapists are good. Charlie Health made me more confident in who I am and I started the process of learning how to better communicate. These nine weeks were amazing, especially after being stuck in one place for about a year with minimal human interactions. If someone is considering this, it is more than worth it.

“I met so many wonderful people.”
Charlie Health helped me through a difficult period in my life. The speed with which they were able to get me through intake and into treatment was impressive and really helpful during a time of crisis. The resources were great. The facilitators are fantastic, and the educational pieces were helpful. Doing art therapy was really helpful for me and something I will take into my daily life after Charlie Health. Getting to know other women with very similar backgrounds to me was amazing and so healing. I met so many wonderful people. The services are impressive, and I'm really glad I got to be here. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's in a dark place.

“Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed.”
I came to Charlie Health in July of 2024 after my first-ever panic attack. The process was a bit bumpy on the insurance end to get started in group, but it was rectified quickly. I was very hesitant to receive mental health treatment and against taking medication as all of this was very new to me. Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed and individualizes each treatment plan to allow you to "graduate" with the skills and tools you need to succeed upon exiting the program. They allow you to explore your emotions and behavioral health and help guide you to a path of least resistance in your recovery.
