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. Expert providers incorporate a variety of evidence-based therapies into individual counseling, family therapy, and group sessions. They also integrate medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to support long-term recovery from substance use disorders. 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. Delivered directly at home, these specialized treatment programs provide affirming and culturally competent mental healthcare that addresses common issues at the intersection of identity and mental health. Each of these personalized programs features a range of therapies, creating a truly comprehensive treatment experience. Charlie Health offers compassionate, personalized support that goes beyond virtual therapy sessions through their 360° care ecosystem. Their 24/7 crisis line provides peace of mind and emergency assistance. The Charlie Cares clinical concierge handles questions, requests, and feedback so clients can focus on healing. Care Coaches provide tailored guidance, resources, encouragement, and mentorship throughout treatment. Personalized discharge planning connects clients to local therapists and resources. Additionally, Charlie Health offers dozens of free virtual support groups and alumni events to foster growth, healing, and connection for families and IOP graduates. Charlie Health’s alumni offerings provide free, non-clinical services designed to help program graduates stay connected and supported after completing treatment. Through alumni groups, workshops, and a vibrant Discord community, alumni can foster belonging, discover new interests, and maintain overall wellness. These groups, available throughout the week and on weekends, cover a variety of topics, from self-care and songwriting to job interview preparation, offering something for everyone.
