1) It can treat multiple conditions.

Virtual IOP with psychiatry can effectively address a variety of mental health concerns, including serious mental health conditions and co-occurring conditions, defined as situations where people experience two or more mental health conditions at the same time. Co-occurring conditions are common among people struggling with serious mental health conditions.

At Charlie Health, we specialize in treating:

• Anxiety disorders
• Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
• Depression
• Dissociative disorders
• Gender dysphoria
• Mood disorders (bipolar disorder, etc.) 
• Neurodivergence
• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
• Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
• Personality disorders
• Postpartum depression
• Substance use disorders (co-occurring)
• Suicidal ideation & self-harm

• Traumatic brain injuries
• And more

2) They use a variety of treatment modalities.

Virtual IOP with psychiatry uses a variety of treatment modalities in group, individual, and family sessions, ensuring that people receive the best evidence-based care available. At Charlie Health, we offer:

• Attachment-based family therapy
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Compassion-focused therapy (CFT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills
• Experiential therapy
• Exposure therapy 
• Mindfulness-based therapy
• Motivational interviewing
• And more

3) The programs leverage the power of group connection.

Traditional weekly therapy is typically conducted one-on-one. The basis of a virtual IOP with psychiatry, however, is group sessions, allowing people to heal together, build connections with others struggling with serious mental health condition and medication-management, and practice skills in real time. Centering treatment in group support means clients can learn not only from the therapist but also from the experiences and insights shared by their fellow group members, fostering a sense of belonging and validation.

4) They’re flexible and accessible.

Virtual IOP with psychiatry allows people to continue with daily life, like work or school. With flexible scheduling, including options at night and on the weekend, people don’t have to put life on pause to get the mental health treatment they need.

Our virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) with psychiatry is an appropriate level of care for people who need more than once-weekly therapy and medication management to cope with serious mental health conditions. Many of our clients have either recently discharged from a higher level of care (e.g., residential, inpatient, emergency room) or are seeking more support than traditional weekly talk therapy (outpatient).

While typical outpatient treatment involves one therapy session per week, our virtual IOP with psychiatry offers multiple hours of treatment per week, including both therapy and medication-management services. At Charlie Health, each client receives a customized treatment plan that includes three group sessions per week, one individual therapy session per week, and one family therapy session per week.

Different therapy modalities are used throughout sessions, creating a truly comprehensive treatment program.
