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.

“I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health.”

Charlie Health helped me so much. Participating in groups with people my age, who have gone through the same stuff that I have, really made me feel connected and not alone. When everyone around you is fighting to make progress, you want to follow along too. I wouldn’t be where I am today without Charlie Health. I’m going to miss this program, but I won’t come back to it. I’m not going to let everything I’ve done and worked towards here go to waste. I’m going to keep fighting until the battle is over, and I can raise my head in the mirror and tell myself that I’ve made it. Charlie Health, you change and save so many lives. Thank you so much for everything you did, and will continue to do.

“I didn't think I'd be able to find help.”

Charlie Health has helped me regulate my negative emotions and discover what kinds of emotions I'm feeling in the moment, and figure out my boundaries. This was very much needed since emotions were my top issue to figure out alongside trauma. I have learned to not only accept my traumatic experiences, but come out as a survivor with people that understand what I went through. Charlie Health group therapy has helped me, and before group therapy, I didn't think I'd be able to find help. Thank you Charlie Health!!
