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
“Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program.”
I was in a dark place when I started Charlie Health. I was either going into a hospital or going to die. Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program and made sure I had the backing and support I needed right away. I was able to advocate with work about my needs with my primary therapist's support. Everyone in groups were so nice and helpful.I loved connecting with people going through struggles like mine.

“After coming to Charlie Health, I was able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and, most importantly, my relationship with myself.”
Before Charlie Health, I felt very alone with my thoughts and feelings. I didn't know that it was normal to have all of these emotions. I didn't know how to co-regulate myself or my emotions until I came to Charlie Health. After coming to Charlie Health, I was able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and, most importantly, my relationship with myself. I'm thankful for my experience and everyone I've met. I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.

“But then, about four and a half weeks in, the bubble popped, and I had my first “aha” moment. Things started to fall into place, and I felt human again for the first time in over two decades.”
I came to Charlie Health because I was at such a low place in my life; I felt I was dying with no way to stop the spiral and descent I was going down, but at the same time, I refused to go into another inpatient facility because of the negative, dehumanizing experience that I had before. In desperation, I reached out to a dear friend, and she recommended Charlie Health to me, so I made the call. I went in with very low expectations, and for the first few weeks, I felt I was wasting my time in these groups. But then, about four and a half weeks in, the bubble popped, and I had my first “aha” moment. Things started to fall into place, and I felt human again for the first time in over two decades. I started standing up for myself and advocating for the direction of my care. I stopped going into therapy with a prepared flowchart of how I needed the conversation to go and started truly healing. I let down my walls and shed many tears. I learned to be a human being again. I am truly thankful for my wonderful therapist, who helped me start healing the trauma I honestly thought I would never be able to heal from. I am also thankful to the plethora of group facilitators who brought unique flavors to each group they led. Most of all, I am thankful for the people I met along the way and wish kindness, love, and healing to all of them on their journeys.
