Charlie Health
Intensive virtual care for teens facing serious mental health challenges — faster than inpatient
Charlie Health fills a critical gap in the adolescent mental health system by providing intensive outpatient care virtually — enabling a level of clinical support previously only available through inpatient or day programs, but delivered at home. For teens experiencing depression, anxiety, self-harm, or eating disorder concerns that exceed what weekly therapy can address, Charlie Health is the strongest virtual option available.
✓ Pros
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) model provides 9+ hours of therapy per week — a level of care between outpatient and inpatient
- Group therapy connects teens with peers facing similar challenges, reducing isolation alongside clinical treatment
- Accepts most major commercial insurance and actively handles prior authorization to reduce family burden
✕ Cons
- IOP format requires a significant weekly time commitment that may be difficult during the school year
- Intensive structure is most appropriate for moderate-to-severe presentations; milder concerns may be over-served
