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 didn't think I'd be able to find help.”
Charlie Health has helped me regulate my negative emotions and discover what kinds of emotions I'm feeling in the moment, and figure out my boundaries. This was very much needed since emotions were my top issue to figure out alongside trauma. I have learned to not only accept my traumatic experiences, but come out as a survivor with people that understand what I went through. Charlie Health group therapy has helped me, and before group therapy, I didn't think I'd be able to find help. Thank you Charlie Health!!

When I started Charlie Health, I was drinking to cope and things were really bad. But with the help of my therapist, we slowly got to work on everything I was dealing with. I learned about self-care and how to work with my anxiety and depression so that I can take better care of my kids.

“A unique and functional program.”
As a clinician working in an acute mental health hospital, it is a daily challenge to find outpatient programs for adolescents. Charlie Health has been a godsend on so many levels. Working with them has been smooth and effortless, and they are quick to respond with any questions I bring to them. The team works with clients and families to overcome any barriers, whether it be insurance or financial struggles. This program not only offers support for the clients, but for their families as well. I highly recommend Charlie Health; it is a unique and functional program with highly competent staff and programming.
