A virtual intensive outpatient therapy program from Charlie Health can help address serious mental health concerns that don’t require residential care. Because our practitioners conduct their sessions online, you and your child can continue with everyday life activities, including continuing their studies at school.

Not only do our teen and young adult clients get weekly individual therapy, but we also facilitate family therapy sessions and group sessions so they can feel safe with a group of peers with similar experiences.
