We design each identity-affirming treatment plan with one primary goal in mind: helping clients heal and rediscover hope. If you have a client who would benefit from Charlie Health, make a referral today using our quick & simple online referral form.

1) The program can treat multiple conditions.

Virtual IOP can effectively address a variety of mental health concerns and co-occurring conditions (defined as situations where people experience two or more mental health conditions at the same time).

At Charlie Health, we specialize in treating trauma, plus:

• 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
• Suicidal ideation & self-harm
• Traumatic brain injuries
• And more

2) The program uses a variety of treatment modalities.

Virtual IOP for BIPOC clients uses a variety of treatment modalities in group, individual, and family sessions, ensuring that clients 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 power of group connection.

Traditional weekly therapy is typically conducted one-on-one. The basis of virtual IOP for BIPOC clients, however, is group sessions, allowing clients to heal together, build connections with others who understand their lived experiences, 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) Flexible and accessible.

Virtual IOP for BIPOC clients allows them 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 BIPOC-affirming virtual Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) is an appropriate level of care for clients who need more than once-weekly therapy 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 for BIPOC clients offers multiple hours of treatment per week. At Charlie Health, each client receives a customized treatment plan that includes three group sessions per week, one identity-affirming individual therapy session per week, and one family therapy session per week. We also offer psychiatric services as needed.

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

We are in-network with most major insurance plans, including:

• UnitedHealthcare

• Blue Cross Blue Shield
• Aetna
• Anthem
• Humana
• TriCare
• Medicaid (in select states)
• And more

We also accept self-pay. To learn if your client’s insurance is covered, submit a referral here.
