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 was completely afraid of coming into group and did not expect it to help me the way it did.”
When I started at Charlie Health, I wasn't even aware of how low I felt. I was dealing with PTSD, overwhelming anxiety, and depression. I was completely afraid of coming into group and did not expect it to help me the way it did, but I was wrong. I have made incredible friendships throughout this process and received support I wasn't aware I needed. After completing Charlie Health, my depression and anxiety symptoms are now considered moderate, which feels like a miracle.

“Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed.”
I came to Charlie Health in July of 2024 after my first-ever panic attack. The process was a bit bumpy on the insurance end to get started in group, but it was rectified quickly. I was very hesitant to receive mental health treatment and against taking medication as all of this was very new to me. Charlie Health makes you feel welcomed and individualizes each treatment plan to allow you to "graduate" with the skills and tools you need to succeed upon exiting the program. They allow you to explore your emotions and behavioral health and help guide you to a path of least resistance in your recovery.

“I am so happy I gave it a chance.”
I had reached a point in my life where something had to give. I was either going to succumb to my trauma and depression or need to go to an inpatient facility. I found Charlie Health through the military and was scared at first and wasn’t sure it would help, but I am so happy I gave it a chance. My husband and immediate family have noticed a significant difference in my countenance and behaviors. I am lighter and happier. I can be faced with stress and not be overwhelmed by it. I now have a clean and healthy slate to begin handling my trauma. I will recommend the CBT groups to everyone. My family will forever be changed by the generational traumas I have worked on breaking. My children will get to have a whole mother who is not weighed down by her grief, depression, or anxiety. My husband now has a partner who can communicate, and we will continue to cultivate a healthy and loving friendship and marriage.
