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 left the program feeling like I was not alone and my feelings mattered.”
This was my first ever mental health therapy, and I couldn't be more grateful that it was Charlie Health (CH). I was skeptical and anxious, but I loved it and 100% recommend it. I recommended CH to anyone struggling with postpartum depression because the therapist and group facilitators are very understanding and approachable. The bond I formed with my group is amazing. We all formed lifelong friendships, and they became my safe haven. I couldn't thank CH enough because they paired me with the perfect group and made my mental health journey comfortable and relatable. I left the program feeling like I was not alone and my feelings mattered. Thank you, CH.

“It has honestly been a lifesaver...I love it here.”
I was unsure if I wanted to go back to therapy, but I knew I needed it as my social anxiety was going haywire almost every single day and my depression was getting worse. I couldn't find a therapist within my city that had availability or took my insurance, but then my psychiatrist suggested Charlie Health. I figured out they could help me and work around my schedule at work and school. It has honestly been a lifesaver and I am so happy that I continued with the process of showing up and working through my struggles within group and individual therapy sessions. I love it here, and if I ever need to come back, I will.

“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.
