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 made me feel like there are people who do care, and things get better. There is always light at the end of the tunnel and change is good if you look for the positives.

“I have been at ease for the first time in my life.”
Charlie Health has genuinely helped me get out of my near-decade rut. I was given wonderful doctors, therapists, and groupmates. In the group, everyone was helpful and encouraging, as well as a fun outlet to socialize with. My primary therapist was friendly and understanding, and my psychiatrist prescribed me meds that have helped me tremendously. I was able to get a diagnosis for a handful of things that explained so much, and I have been at ease for the first time in my life.

“Charlie Health makes a good space for you to feel connected and not alone.”
After fighting my eating disorder for years, I discovered that my real root problem was my depression. I didn't want to recover from my eating disorder because I didn't want to live at all. After utilizing Charlie Health to focus on my major depressive disorder, I have found that I have been able to maintain my ED recovery for six months, which is the longest I have been able to maintain in years. Charlie Health makes a good space for you to feel connected and not alone. Everyone is from different backgrounds, yet united under a common fight to get better, to heal.
—Lydia E.
