Charlie Health’s virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a personalized treatment solution for LGBTQIA+ people with serious mental health conditions. Each treatment plan consists of up to 9-12 hours per week of:

• Curated groups
• Individual therapy
• Family therapy
• Psychiatry, as needed

In addition to our standard treatment model, all clients have access to 24/7 crisis care, 20+ free family support groups, peer mentors, Alumni Programming, and more.

We design each LGBTQIA+-affirming treatment plan with one primary goal in mind: helping people heal and rediscover hope. If you or a person in your life could benefit from Charlie Health, please contact our Admissions Team to get started in as little as 24 hours.

1) The program can treat multiple conditions.

Virtual IOP can effectively address a variety of mental health concerns, including LGBTQIA+-related conditions 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 LGBTQIA+ 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 LGBTQIA+ 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 LGBTQIA+ 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.

Charlie Health may be a good fit for:

1. Clients who would benefit from a step-up treatment solution and are currently attending weekly outpatient therapy but still seriously struggling with their mental health.
2. Clients who would benefit from a step-down treatment solution and need ongoing support following discharge from an ER, residential treatment program, or inpatient treatment facility.

If you have a client or patient who you think would benefit from Charlie Health, use our quick & easy referral form to get them started with treatment in as little as 24 hours.
