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
“I was able to stay on campus while doing Charlie Health.”
I was at a really low point during my junior year of college, but I was able to stay on campus while doing Charlie Health. I could take care of myself in the morning, have a mid-day session, and then spend the whole evening doing extracurriculars. It felt too good to be true. Charlie Health taught me skills that I use every single day; things that I don’t even think about anymore. Now I can advocate in relationships and regulate my feelings.

“Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed.”
I came to Charlie Health in July of 2024 after my first-ever panic attack. The process was a bit bumpy on the insurance end to get started in group, but it was rectified quickly. I was very hesitant to receive mental health treatment and against taking medication as all of this was very new to me. Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed and individualizes each treatment plan to allow you to "graduate" with the skills and tools you need to succeed upon exiting the program. They allow you to explore your emotions and behavioral health and help guide you to a path of least resistance in your recovery.

“ It was actually really nice having people who were going through things similar to mine.”
I was nervous about doing group therapy. It wasn't something I had done before or even thought of doing. I thought it was going to be hard to be open with a group of people I didn't know. But it was actually really nice having people who were going through things similar to mine. It was also cool being in a group because you could bounce ideas off of each other if you felt unsure of what to say or how you were feeling. Overall, CharlieHealth was definitely a positive experience for me.
