Online therapy in Minnesota
Minnesota has more hospitalizations for serious mental illness than the national average.
More than 90% of Charlie Health clients see 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.

In their words
What our clients say
“I am confident in my ability to tackle life.”
When I started Charlie Health, I was really struggling. The people here made me feel like I wasn't alone. They helped me ask for help when it got too hard and were here to pick me up when I was down. The people here are wonderful human beings who truly care about the work that they are doing. As I'm leaving Charlie Health, I am confident in my ability to tackle life. I believe that I have a purpose and a long life ahead of me.

“Every bit of it is so worth it.”
"I've been struggling with depression and my mental health for about ten years. I've been in four different inpatient facilities; my most recent therapist said she hadn't seen any improvement and was giving up on me as a client. I was in the psychiatric hospital for a week before being discharged, and part of my discharge plan was to attend Charlie Health. I was hesitant at first, I had always been told to avoid online therapy, just because it lacked the connection that in-person experiences had, but I live in a rural area, and the opportunity to connect with other people of the LGBTQ+ community who were struggling with the same experiences I was sounded too good to pass up. Charlie Health's group therapy has helped me in so many ways. Not just with getting to meet people in the same community as me, even though that alone is amazing and an experience that should be treasured on its own. The group facilitators are all experienced and have their own stories to tell, and their own expertise to share. Every client that comes through has their own unique story, their own unique perspective on the world, their own unique identity that you get to learn. Hearing these stories, learning from these people - you don't realize it at first, but it's all part of the process. Every bit of it is so worth it."

“The skills and exercises I've learned have already begun transforming my daily life, empowering me to embrace this new journey with newfound self-confidence.”
As a first-time mom, I knew changes were bound to happen; however, I did not expect these changes and feelings to impact me the way that they did. Stepping into therapy for the first time felt daunting, but Charlie Health has truly been a blessing. I can't imagine where I'd be without the support and understanding I've received. I'm deeply grateful for the safe space created for us to express our feelings and share our struggles, thoughts, and the realities of mom life. Reminding me that it is COMPLETELY normal to feel how I've been feeling. The guidance and encouragement from the team have been invaluable during these challenging times. I will forever be grateful to the team! The skills and exercises I've learned have already begun transforming my daily life, empowering me to embrace this new journey with newfound self-confidence. Thank you for being a beacon of hope and support. Together, we are building a happier future, one step at a time.
