Are you looking for care in other areas?
Charlie Health's virtual intensive outpatient program (IOP) is also available in other locations.
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 started to open up and realized that I wasn’t alone.”
Right before I came to Charlie Health, I was depressed and had just gotten out of the mental hospital. When I joined Charlie Health, I was upset because I was being forced to do this therapy, so I didn’t really participate. After a few days, I realized that I had to spend so much time here anyway, so I might as well just do it and get something out of it. So I started to open up and realized that I wasn’t alone. I eventually learned the things I needed to learn and got lots of positive and helpful feedback from group members and group facilitators. I met lots of people who could relate to me, and people that I could relate to, which really did help me on my journey. I met great group facilitators who helped me get through this process and made it more enjoyable to be here!

“I feel so much stronger now than when I started.”
The heart of the program is the people. The resources and skills you learn are helpful, but you can find them elsewhere. The connections you can form with your group members is the real opportunity. I encourage anyone who joins the program to jump in with both feet and share with, open up to, and empathize with the group. The validation and support that you receive from other fully participating members is so healing. That's what saved me, I feel so much stronger now than when I started.

“I was hesitant to start therapy through Charlie Health initially due to the virtual aspect; however, that hesitancy quickly disappeared.”
I came to Charlie Health because I was struggling with every aspect of my life. I was hesitant to start therapy through Charlie Health initially due to the virtual aspect; however, that hesitancy quickly disappeared when I started my first group session. My group sessions, individual therapy sessions, and psychiatry sessions have been so supportive and have provided me with many resources, tools, and perspectives that I will carry with me on my ongoing mental health healing journey. I feel like I can take care of myself, be more genuine, emotionally regulate myself, and better interact with and communicate my needs to others. As a bonus, the award/unicorn points I received through attendance and participation in this program enabled me to get an art therapy exercises book and a beautiful journal. It is bittersweet to be finished with Charlie Health, and I am really looking forward to alumni groups for continued support.
