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.

“Groups taught me incredible concepts and coping skills.”
Charlie Health was an amazing program to bridge my time in mental health inpatient care to my day-to-day life. I had the most thoughtful individual therapist which truly gave me hope in the mental health system. The process and alternative therapy groups taught me incredible concepts and coping skills. The care team is extremely responsive, which never made me feel alone. I am so grateful for this program and would recommend to any young adult who is looking to transform their mental health journey.

“Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program.”
I was in a dark place when I started Charlie Health. I was either going into a hospital or going to die. Charlie Health was quick to get me into the program and made sure I had the backing and support I needed right away. I was able to advocate with work about my needs with my primary therapist's support. Everyone in groups were so nice and helpful.I loved connecting with people going through struggles like mine.
