What is Charlie Health?

Charlie Health is a national mental health teleconsultation company founded in 2020 by Carter Barnhart (CEO), Caroline Fenkel (Chief Clinical Officer), Justin Weiss, and Katherine Reddington, headquartered in Bozeman, Montana. The company delivers a virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for teens, young adults, and families dealing with high-acuity mental health conditions — depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidality, eating disorders, substance use, and gender-identity-related concerns. Each program runs three weekly group sessions plus individual and family therapy, all delivered via video. Treatment modalities include process groups, trauma-focused therapy, ACT, CBT, and emotional-awareness groups, structured around the population (LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, military families, eating-disorder track, etc.). The company is in-network with most major insurers (Medicaid included in many states) and licensed in 40+ US states. By 2026 the team had grown to ~2,522 employees, making Charlie Health one of the largest virtual behavioral-health employers in the country.

Mission & values

Connect teens, young adults, and families to the highest-quality mental healthcare — through serious virtual treatment that meets them where they are, in the most challenging moments of their lives.

(2) **Non-clinical roles** — engineering (web, mobile, data, ML, platform), product, design, marketing, finance, people, ops, sales, and BD — are predominantly **remote-first** across the US. Bozeman, Montana hosts the headquarters; New York and other cities house executive and partnership functions.
