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.

What our clients say
“This program changed my life and was worth it.”
This program changed my life and was worth it. I felt supported and safe, and I made a ton of great relationships. I feel like a whole different person and have learned tools to help me in the future.

“They had a program at a cost I could afford, was flexible enough to fit my wacky schedule, and provided the level of care that I needed.”
Charlie Health was there for me when I needed it. I was struggling really badly with my mental health and couldn't find a program that fit my busy schedule as a working professional. A provider recommended Charlie Health to me, and they had a program at a cost I could afford, was flexible enough to fit my wacky schedule, and provided the level of care that I needed. I am very grateful for Charlie Health!
—Micah S.
“I no longer feel that deep sense of emptiness and hopelessness.”
I didn't want to die, but I didn't know how to keep living anymore and I couldn't see a way out. How can I possibly describe what it means to no longer be stuck there? I no longer feel that deep sense of emptiness and hopelessness that that I have carried for 20 years? I wish I could sum up this experience in a small blurb, but some things can only be felt. Trust the process. Clichés exist for a reason.
