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
“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."

“I finally feel like I can breathe.”
I have been struggling with PTSD and anxiety my whole life. I have been working so hard to better myself and I finally feel like I can breathe. I had undiagnosed autism when I got here, and the diagnosis literally changed my life for the better because so many things were answered and my life makes sense thanks to CH.

“I was absolutely blown away by just how much I learned in the 12 weeks I was at Charlie Health.”
I was super skeptical of going into online therapy, specifically DBT, because I didn't think it would help compared to going to counseling/therapy in person. But I was absolutely blown away by just how much I learned in the 12 weeks I was at Charlie Health. The group sessions were always very informative, and the Group Facilitators talked you through so much and answered as many questions as you had. They're very engaging and help you dive deeper into your mind to help you, help yourself mentally. The one-on-one sessions with my therapist were even better! I didn't think I had any more to learn about myself, but they helped me to realize why I do things in a certain way or even what might've "rewired" my brain along the way. I 100% recommend Charlie Health to anyone who might be struggling mentally or just needs some help navigating through the difficult thoughts in their life.
