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 gave me the space I needed to develop coping skills that I can use and apply in everyday situations.”
Four months ago, I was in the darkest place that I've ever been in. I was struggling with my job, and the constant stress was causing me to experience the worst decline in my mental health that I've ever had. It was bad enough that I needed to go to the hospital for a few days. Since being discharged, I left my job as a hospital nurse, I started intensive outpatient therapy, and I finally made time to take care of myself. Charlie Health gave me the space I needed to develop coping skills that I can use and apply in everyday situations. I was able to process aloud with my individual therapist and with others who are going through similar experiences. Now, I have a job that I finally feel will provide me with the balance that I was missing in my previous job.

“It's worth it.”
My experience at Charlie Health was incredible. My individual therapist was pivotal in my healing journey as she helped me to understand my emotions and work through not only my traumas, but also deal with my anxiety. Charlie Health’s experience helped to learn that these feelings, such as depression and anxiety, are a part of me, but that doesn’t have to be a bad thing. I can control them and cope with them and live on with them, and most of all, study them and understand them. Groups were also delightful. I got to meet such a wonderful breadth of beautiful individuals whom I could listen to in their own healing journeys. Although it was quite intensive, it was positive overall. Charlie Health was an extremely great experience. It can be a long process, but in the end, it's worth it.

“If it wasn’t for Charlie Health, I know I wouldn’t be here today.”
I was very skeptical about starting Charlie Health. I was unsure about a group setting, the number of hours I had to commit to, and it being virtual. It took me some time to open up, but it was life-changing once I got comfortable. I had to put in a lot of work to get to where I am now, but if it wasn’t for Charlie Health, I know I wouldn’t be here today. I was lucky enough to work with Brookie; she is the best facilitator, and I wish I could still work with her after discharge. She helped make my experience amazing. Fourteen weeks ago, I didn’t think I would be here to write this testimonial, but thanks to Charlie Health, I am. I would recommend this program to anyone, no matter what you are going through or have been through. There is a place for everyone here.
