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
“It helped because I didn't feel so alone in group.”
I was having really bad suicidal ideation before I got to Charlie Health and then I attempted suicide and then my school offered Charlie Health to me and I joined. I started in group sessions first and then I got in individual therapy and then I got into family therapy. It helped because I didn't feel so alone in group and I got to talk to them about what was going on in my school life and my home life. And then I got to talk to my individual therapist about the things that happened and we talked through it. Then I went to family therapy and built a relationship with my dad and I built a better relationship with my mom and sister.

“I am extremely grateful I was able to do this program and I feel it has been incredibly beneficial to my progress.”
I went into Charlie Health struggling with self-harm, severe chronic suicidal ideation, and unsure of my gender identity. Through the program and support in groups, I have been clean from self-harm, seen a decrease in suicidal ideation, and realized my gender identity with a lot of support. I am extremely grateful I was able to do this program and I feel it has been incredibly beneficial to my progress in getting better.

“All of the groups and individual therapists helped me build a foundation for finding myself again.”
I came to Charlie Health with five years clean and sober, but stuck in the worst depression and anxiety of my life and going through an eviction. I was a single mother working full time and going to school, so I didn't have much time to seek or fit in treatment, but I knew I needed help. Charlie Health was awesome from the start—supportive, understanding, and non-judgmental. All of the groups and individual therapists helped me build a foundation for finding myself again, taking a look at the role trauma has played in my life and circumstances, and helped me stand on my feet and formulate solid goals for rebuilding my life.
