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 began Charlie Health unemployed with no clear future, and now I’m a graduate student with a job.”
I came into Charlie Health absolutely depressed and anxious, with no signs of hope. Slowly, I gained the tools to defend myself more often, make new friends, and take healthy steps toward bettering my life. I went from getting physically ill from all of my stressors to handling my stressors head-on. I finally have some semblance of hope. I began Charlie Health unemployed with no clear future, and now I’m a graduate student with a job. I’m grateful for all of my group facilitators who gave me the tools for success, and incredibly thankful for Ryan, my therapist, for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

“I have more energy, I’m sleeping better, and I’m more optimistic about life.”
When I came into Charlie Health, I was at a really low point in my life. This program helped me a lot more than I expected it to. This is the first time in my life that I’ve had a sense of emotional regulation. I have more energy, I’m sleeping better, and I’m more optimistic about life. I am really grateful for Charlie Health.
—Brittany D.
“I discovered a lot about myself.”
I was hesitant about a virtual program at first, but I ended up connecting with my group members a lot more than I expected. My group facilitators were fantastic as well, and this program helped me find a little bit more stability in my life. I discovered a lot about myself and my mental health diagnoses.
