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 makes a good space for you to feel connected and not alone.”
After fighting my eating disorder for years, I discovered that my real root problem was my depression. I didn't want to recover from my eating disorder because I didn't want to live at all. After utilizing Charlie Health to focus on my major depressive disorder, I have found that I have been able to maintain my ED recovery for six months, which is the longest I have been able to maintain in years. Charlie Health makes a good space for you to feel connected and not alone. Everyone is from different backgrounds, yet united under a common fight to get better, to heal.

“I was hesitant to start therapy through Charlie Health initially due to the virtual aspect; however, that hesitancy quickly disappeared.”
I came to Charlie Health because I was struggling with every aspect of my life. I was hesitant to start therapy through Charlie Health initially due to the virtual aspect; however, that hesitancy quickly disappeared when I started my first group session. My group sessions, individual therapy sessions, and psychiatry sessions have been so supportive and have provided me with many resources, tools, and perspectives that I will carry with me on my ongoing mental health healing journey. I feel like I can take care of myself, be more genuine, emotionally regulate myself, and better interact with and communicate my needs to others. As a bonus, the award/unicorn points I received through attendance and participation in this program enabled me to get an art therapy exercises book and a beautiful journal. It is bittersweet to be finished with Charlie Health, and I am really looking forward to alumni groups for continued support.

“I ended up walking away from Charlie Health much more knowledgeable and well-equipped to deal with emotional and mental problems.”
I came from rock bottom into this program, and I was reluctant to do virtual group therapy. I've done virtual individual therapy before, but a group scenario is a very different situation. However, by the second week, I realized that it was a completely different experience than I had expected it to be. I ended up walking away from Charlie Health much more knowledgeable and well-equipped to deal with emotional and mental problems, and I was much more confident in myself and my future. To anyone looking for mental health help and willing to put the work in, I highly recommend Charlie Health.
