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'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm.”
For a long while, I'd been struggling with mental health issues, with suicidal thoughts and self-harm issues as a result of mental abuse. There was a big incident where I tried to severely harm myself. I was put into Charlie Health, and it was a good experience for me. I'm now able to resist my urges to self-harm, and my family relationship have gotten better. The healing process is hard, but it gets easier by the month.
—Alice B.
“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.
—Sarah A.
“You never know what you can learn or who you will meet.”
Eva and Megan have added a variety of processing groups for different communities, workshops to learn/hone skills, DND, and other fun activities. I am active in a lot of the different activities myself (when I can remember to go) and have made some great friends from this program. You never know what you can learn or who you will meet. The program helps me to be accountable to prioritize my mental health when I’m doing process groups or journaling workshops. I’m extremely grateful to be able to do that at no cost.
—Cherie T.
