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
“They made me understand that I'm not alone.”
Absolutely loved every group member I met here. They made me understand that I wasn't alone and that I am worthy. I will remember them for the rest of my life. I could not have walked out of my severe depressive episode without them. To whoever is reading this: you and your pain are not alone in this world. There are people who share them. You will be okay - even if you don't believe it right now.

“The virtual option was amazing because I was able to meet people across the country and do it all from the comfort of my own home. I don't know where I'd be without Charlie Health.”
When I was going through my divorce, I had reached an ultimate low. Charlie Health was an amazing program that helped me rediscover myself and find a community of people who were there to support me as I went through my mental health healing journey. The virtual option was amazing because I was able to meet people across the country and do it all from the comfort of my own home. I don't know where I'd be without Charlie Health.

“Very empowering and validating.”
I started Charlie Health in a very, very dark state. I was so low that I didn't know what to do. Slowly, as I learned to open up in group and implement some of the strategies covered, I gained more tools to be able to combat my obstacles. I am far from cured or even better than where I've always been, but for the first time, I feel like i have the methodology to get there. It's been very empowering and validating, I've learned so much about myself here.
