Online therapy in Columbia
1 in 10 adults in Missouri have a serious mental illness.
More than 90% of Charlie Health clients reported 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
“My mom said, 'We have our Maddy back'.”
Charlie Health was very helpful for me. I was able to come off a lot of my medications that were causing my mental health crisis. My mood improved so drastically that my mom said, "We have our Maddy back." I learned so many self-care skills that I didn't even know before. My mom even learned a lot more about how I communicate and what I need. I have been able to communicate better with my medical team because Charlie Health has helped me be more open with them. I have been able to advocate for my needs better. For example, the care provider for my braces knows that I am more comfortable seeing him in my home and when I need to go into his office he schedules it at the end of the day so I do not get over stimulated. He allows enough time for my care in my home or in the office.

“Coping skills are literally a lifesaver.”
While no, Charlie Health didn't fix my life haha, I feel I am leaving with a refresher on how my life isn't as doomed as it sometimes feels. More than just being told there are other people out there like me, I got to experience the people themselves, hear their stories, share mine, and be heard. It helped me feel like, once again, maybe I can do this even if it feels like it's getting harder every day. I know there are others fighting the same fight and that I can do it even if it feels impossible. Coping skills are literally a lifesaver, and I hope more people can learn and utilize them, especially in the world we currently reside in. It's not over.

“The people are amazing and they keep you motivated.”
Charlie Health helped me more than most of the therapy I've been through in the past. It might seem like a lot of work, but the people are amazing and they keep you motivated. I would recommend Charlie Health to any teen.
