“As a healthcare professional, I was immediately drawn to Charlie Health due to their commitment to end the youth mental health crisis. I started my career as a physical therapist and specialized in working with individuals with chronic spinal cord injuries. This exposed me to the struggles faced by teens and young adults with chronic illnesses. My patients often underwent a significant loss of independence, with an inability to walk, dress, or feed themselves without assistance. Despite the overwhelming need for mental health support, the medical team’s focus remained primarily on physical health. Shockingly, resources for addressing issues like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and even suicidal ideation were severely limited. Charlie Health is a beacon of hope, providing accessible solutions for our youth in desperate need of help. The team’s obsession with forging connections and facilitating peer support creates a powerful impact, reminding individuals that they are not alone in their struggles.

What is IOP?
Intensive outpatient programming (IOP) is a level of behavioral healthcare that is typically more structured and intensive than traditional weekly therapy. It is designed for individuals who need more treatment and support than can be provided through traditional outpatient services, but who do not require the level of care provided through residential or inpatient treatment.
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
A leading 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.
