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.

People in crisis are struggling to find the mental health treatment they need. At Charlie Health, we’re creating serious, effective, and accessible solutions.

Our treatment programs, including our virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), combine personalized care with peer connection to foster long-term healing.

In their words

What our clients say

“I've had people tell me I'll never be okay, but after this journey with Charlie Health, I've been feeling better than ever.”

I've been in and out of hospitals and different therapist for over 10 years, but nothing worked or even made a dent due to their approach. Charlie Health was short but very helpful as it is adjusted to fit your personal experience. I've had people tell me I'll never be okay, but after this journey with Charlie Health, I've been feeling better than ever.

—Charlie Health Alum

“I learned a lot.”

Charlie Health is filled with the best people! In group and individual therapy, everyone was so helpful to my mental health journey and helped me cope better with life; I learned a lot.

—Rachael H.

“I now have the tools to continue my mental health journey.”

I have autism, ADHD, complex trauma, PMDD, PTSD, and generalized anxiety. I came to Charlie Health due to a PTSD shutdown, and I can't say enough about what this program has done for me. I now have the tools to continue my mental health journey. Thank you to Charlie Health.
