About Charlie Health Virtual
Charlie Health connects teens and adults to life-saving treatment with virtual, personalized, and evidence-based care, ensuring accessibility by accepting Medicaid in select states. Their virtual treatment programs, including their virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), provide more than once-weekly mental health treatment for people dealing with serious mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and more.

Charlie Health uses a personalized, multi-pronged approach to creating each client’s unique treatment plan. Their clinical intake team assesses each client’s specific needs and develops a personalized program with group sessions multiple times per week, plus weekly individual therapy and family therapy. They also offer psychiatry and medication management as needed. Clients attend up to 9-12 treatment hours per week. Their evidence-based approaches to care encompass a wide range of therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy skills (DBT), and trauma-informed therapy. Additionally, they incorporate holistic methods such as art and music therapy, yoga, mindfulness, and meditation, among other techniques tailored to individual needs.
By bringing together clients with similar mental health challenges and lived experiences, Charlie Health is able to create group environments where people can learn how to build connections and foster long-term healing. They provide specialized treatment groups for BIPOC, members of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent individuals, military personnel and veterans, and new moms and parents, ensuring inclusive treatment catered to diverse needs.

Each of these personalized programs features a range of therapies, creating a truly comprehensive treatment experience.
