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 andsupport 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
“My family and friends have noticed that change in me just by looking at me.”
I was in a hole so deep I thought I couldn’t climb out of it. Shortly after, I got help from a therapist. My therapist eventually referred me to Charlie Health. A year later, I am in a new, healthy environment; I quit drinking, have two new jobs that I love, and learned how to love myself, set boundaries, and process and feel my emotions. My family and friends have noticed that change in me just by looking at me. Thank you Charlie health!

“Charlie Health really helped me find myself.”
Charlie Health changed my life. I've struggled with grief and mental health for a while. Charlie Health really helped me find myself and stop burying my feelings. I didn't know what to do after losing my baby; I didn't know how to continue to be a mom to my girls or a partner. However, I learned to navigate my feelings and emotions, have fewer panic attacks, and be happy even in bad moments. Thank you, Charlie Health. This is only the beginning, and I can't wait to continue to grow.

Groups became something I looked forward to. It was really helpful and gave me a safe space to talk about things I felt like I couldn't talk about anywhere else.
