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.

People in crisis are struggling to find the mental health treatment they need. At Charlie Health, we’re creating serious, effective, and accessible solutions.

In their words

What our clients say

“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.

—Ruby M.

“The Charlie Health environment is extremely supportive.”

I remember one session, I was struggling with saying something because it was about how I have harmed someone before. I might have accidentally worded it as something that I was a victim of, but then I reclarified it. I was so terrified of the response I would recieve because a lot of people in this group had experienced a lot of bad things in their life at the hands of others. Instead, I was met with love, because I was able to admit that I was wrong and tell the truth of the situation. I know many sessions where someone felt as if they were alone and then others in the group talked about how they went through the same thing or that things will get better. If anything, the Charlie Health environment is extremely supportive, and one that I think would be great for anyone.

—Nathan B.

“I was hesitant to start therapy through Charlie Health initially due to the virtual aspect; however, that hesitancy quickly disappeared.”

I came to Charlie Health because I was struggling with every aspect of my life. I was hesitant to start therapy through Charlie Health initially due to the virtual aspect; however, that hesitancy quickly disappeared when I started my first group session. My group sessions, individual therapy sessions, and psychiatry sessions have been so supportive and have provided me with many resources, tools, and perspectives that I will carry with me on my ongoing mental health healing journey. I feel like I can take care of myself, be more genuine, emotionally regulate myself, and better interact with and communicate my needs to others. As a bonus, the award/unicorn points I received through attendance and participation in this program enabled me to get an art therapy exercises book and a beautiful journal. It is bittersweet to be finished with Charlie Health, and I am really looking forward to alumni groups for continued support.
