IOP Resources for Teens & Young Adults

Charlie Health’s intensive outpatient program is conducted virtually to ensure minimal disruption into other areas of our clients’ lives, like school and work.

Teen & young adult IOP

IOP is a form of behavioral healthcare that creates a more frequent therapy schedule compared to just weekly individual therapy sessions. It’s ideal for patients who don’t need the level of support of a residential program but still can benefit from more weekly touchpoints.

At Charlie Health, our virtual IOP includes individual, family, and group therapy sessions throughout each week. IOP groups are determined by each client’s specific needs to help create a safe, supportive environment in which to share. Group themes include bullying victims, LGBTQIA+ advocacy, female-identifying trauma, and more.
