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.

“I've found a part of myself again, a spark of joy I haven't seen in myself in years.”
When I started with Charlie Health, I was in a really dark place. I was actively re-experiencing my trauma through flashbacks and deeply depressed. Charlie Health helped me realize what was happening, how to handle those flashbacks in the moment and the future, and also helped me learn what it means to be worthy. I feel like I've found a part of myself again, a spark of joy I haven't seen in myself in years. I've learned a lot of skills that I know will be in my toolbox for a long time. The bonds that I've made with my group and even the group facilitators has been so healing and validating.

“Every single person I interacted with in the Charlie Health ecosystem was kind, understanding, and helpful.”
Charlie Health was incredibly helpful for me at a time when I was struggling so much with my mental health. The groups were amazing, and the support and validation from my fellow group members were so helpful and made me feel like I was not alone. The group facilitators were very helpful and compassionate, making learning about coping skills enjoyable. My primary therapist was amazing as well. He was very compassionate and understanding with everything I shared with him. Every single person I interacted with in the Charlie Health ecosystem was kind, understanding, and helpful. I would recommend Charlie Health to anyone.
