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 could not have asked for a better individual therapist.”
There are so many good people here who are so willing and happy to help. I felt so heard. I met some amazing people in group. I could not have asked for a better individual therapist. Charlie Health has great resources, as well -- they were able to connect me with professionals who could continue care with me after my discharge. I am so glad I did this! I got to do a lot of healing here.

“Charlie Health gave me the space I needed to develop coping skills that I can use and apply in everyday situations.”
Four months ago, I was in the darkest place that I've ever been in. I was struggling with my job, and the constant stress was causing me to experience the worst decline in my mental health that I've ever had. It was bad enough that I needed to go to the hospital for a few days. Since being discharged, I left my job as a hospital nurse, I started intensive outpatient therapy, and I finally made time to take care of myself. Charlie Health gave me the space I needed to develop coping skills that I can use and apply in everyday situations. I was able to process aloud with my individual therapist and with others who are going through similar experiences. Now, I have a job that I finally feel will provide me with the balance that I was missing in my previous job.

“ I now stand tall with attainable goals in mind and a future just around the corner.”
I came into this program beginning in CBT, where I was taught how to build myself back up and put the pieces back together. I came back in later for follow-up trauma therapy, where I learned how to forgive myself, live in the moment, and let them go. I now stand tall with attainable goals in mind and a future just around the corner. I appreciate Charlie Health, all of the group facilitators, and my individual therapist.
