What is Charlie Health?

Charlie Health provides a level of behavioral healthcare that is typically more structured and intensive than traditional weekly therapy.

The goal of Charlie Health 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 our 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 our program is family involvement. Our model’s family therapy component teaches communication and coping skills to create a more supportive home environment both during and after treatment.

Who is Charlie Health for?

People with ongoing mental health issues or in a mental health crisis

Charlie Health 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.

Life-saving mental health treatment when you need it most

People in crisis are struggling to find the mental health treatment they need. At Charlie Health, we’re creating serious, effective, and accessible solutions.

Our treatment programs combine personalized care with peer connection to foster long-term healing.

In their words

What our clients say

“A unique and functional program.”

As a clinician working in an acute mental health hospital, it is a daily challenge to find outpatient programs for adolescents. Charlie Health has been a godsend on so many levels. Working with them has been smooth and effortless, and they are quick to respond with any questions I bring to them. The team works with clients and families to overcome any barriers, whether it be insurance or financial struggles. This program not only offers support for the clients, but for their families as well. I highly recommend Charlie Health; it is a unique and functional program with highly competent staff and programming.

“I am extremely grateful I was able to do this program and I feel it has been incredibly beneficial to my progress.”

I went into Charlie Health struggling with self-harm, severe chronic suicidal ideation, and unsure of my gender identity. Through the program and support in groups, I have been clean from self-harm, seen a decrease in suicidal ideation, and realized my gender identity with a lot of support. I am extremely grateful I was able to do this program and I feel it has been incredibly beneficial to my progress in getting better.

“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.
