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
“Charlie Health is intense but well worth it.”
I joined Charlie Health because I needed therapy after going through a divorce. I was struggling with depression, anxiety, and insomnia. I knew it was time to do something about it. Because of Charlie Health, I've been able to network with others and remain in contact with some of the people from my cohort who went through treatment with me. Charlie Health is intense but well worth it.

“The virtual nature of the program saved my life.”
Charlie Health showed up for me at a time when I needed support the most but was trapped in an area where the resources simply didn't exist. The virtual nature of the program saved my life because it kept me out of the hospital and in my home with my family. The other patients I met in my group spaces were the most supportive humans, and being able to connect with them about experiences that I felt so alone in was one of the most healing parts of my journey here.

“I started to open up and realized that I wasn’t alone.”
Right before I came to Charlie Health, I was depressed and had just gotten out of the mental hospital. When I joined Charlie Health, I was upset because I was being forced to do this therapy, so I didn’t really participate. After a few days, I realized that I had to spend so much time here anyway, so I might as well just do it and get something out of it. So I started to open up and realized that I wasn’t alone. I eventually learned the things I needed to learn and got lots of positive and helpful feedback from group members and group facilitators. I met lots of people who could relate to me, and people that I could relate to, which really did help me on my journey. I met great group facilitators who helped me get through this process and made it more enjoyable to be here!
