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."

“Charlie Health works if you want to get better and put in the work.”
I was really struggling with a lot of things before I came to Charlie Health. I came here feeling iffy about it. I didn't want to talk about the things going on, but after the first week or two I started opening up to my group members and facilitators, and I'm so glad I did. I'm a mom to 3 beautiful babies and was struggling with addiction and being able to handle things. Being a mom is hard and I didn't know how to deal with my emotions in a healthy way. I'm learning new things everyday -- being able to deal with life on life's terms. I'll be 100 days into my sobriety as of tomorrow and feel more confident in what I'm doing everyday. I'm making strides and have everybody in Charlie Health to thank for helping me through the past few months. Charlie Health works if you want to get better and put in the work! If I ever needed to come back, I know they'll still be here. I'm so grateful for Charlie Health, my group members, and amazing therapists and facilitators.

“I have never encountered such involved and compassionate care.”
I joined Charlie Health after a failed attempt to seek help from a local Emergency Department. I felt worthless and hopeless, like my family and friends would be better off without me. But at Charlie Health, for the first time in my life, I was provided with the skills I need to not only combat these big feelings, but to challenge them and change the way I perceive myself and the world around me. Charlie Health introduced me to the term “C-PTSD” and the results of working through my complex trauma have been incredible. I’ve been in and out of therapy for 15 years, and I have never encountered such involved and compassionate care from a team of professionals. Thank you, CH & teams!
