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 admire the patience, compassion, and devotion behind the program's mission. .”
The most important aspect of Charlie Health is how quickly I could access care and how forgiving the program is if you cannot commit the first time you enroll. If you can't, you can't, but you can always try again when ready. I cannot say the same thing about many mental health providers out there that have strong attendance policies that bar you from the entire practice if you do not comply. The simple fact is that you cannot grow in barren soil. I had to change many aspects of my life, which included exiting extremely toxic and volatile environments before I could sit down and focus on attending several hours of the group every week for several consecutive weeks. But when the seeds had finally sprouted, Charlie Health was there to help continue my growth. I admire the patience, compassion, and devotion behind the program's mission.

“My progression through this program has been visible within and outside of the program in all settings.”
Going into an intensive outpatient program (IOP) brought a sense of dread. However, I was definitely surprised. As someone who has a very complex past and trauma, I needed to find a program that was flexible with the ability to help me penetrate and begin breaking up the sedimentary construct that is my trauma and life experience. My progression through this program has been visible within and outside of the program in all settings. I am very honored and blessed to have found Charlie Health, and I will be forever thankful for everything they gave me.
