Online therapy in Columbia

More than 90% of Charlie Health clients reported improvements in their most severe mental health symptoms.
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
“All the staff members were AMAZING.”
This was a LONG journey. It was well worth it. When I initially checked into rehab I did not feel I had an issue. After being released from rehab and joining Charlie Health I was a bit standoffish and eventually opened up. I learned a lot from my classmates. The only advice that I can give is to open up and if you are comfortable, make connections and keep in contact. Everyone needs a support system and you never know who you can relate to. All the staff members were AMAZING, and I look forward to helping the Alumni group from time to time. Everyone stay strong and continue to fight this fight!!!

We previously saw a therapist in an office setting, but the provider there mostly told my daughter that what she was doing was wrong. At Charlie Health, the therapists and the groups didn’t judge her. They listened to her, asked her how she felt, and guided her to better coping mechanisms.

“I had never met other people like me.”
Before Charlie Health, I had never met other people like me. Going through the program with people I could relate to for the first time in my life…it made me feel seen. My group validated my experience in a big way. The connection to a community and having the means to do that via Charlie Health- that’s meant everything to me in terms of my mental health journey
