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.

What our clients say
“I am leaving the program feeling hopeful about life, with more coping skills, and with strategies for reframing thought patterns.”
When I started in Charlie Health, I was suicidal and staying with a family member as part of my safety plan. I cannot say enough how grateful I am for Charlie Health. I am leaving the program feeling hopeful about life, with more coping skills, and with strategies for reframing thought patterns. Thank you!!

“The skills that I learned saved my life. .”
My depression started really young, when I was 4 or 5 years old. I’ve dealt with so much since then—childhood sexual trauma, an eating disorder and then substance abuse. I flunked out of school and went on medical leave to find treatment. Charlie Health was the first thing I found. It’s given me the emotional maturity to handle hard things and I’ve gotten more emotional regulation, which is something I wish I had my entire life. The skills that I learned saved my life—my stressors are still there but how I react is completely different. It feels so good to have agency over my emotions. That's something I’ve never felt before.

“I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.”
Before Charlie Health I felt very alone with my thoughts and feelings. I didn't know that it was normal to have all of these emotions. I didn't know how to co-regulate myself or my emotions until I came to Charlie Health. Now, I'm able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and most importantly the relationship I had with myself. I'm thankful for my experience and everyone I've met. I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.
