Your Care Options

Therapy

We offer individual therapy for adults and children, as well as group therapy. Sessions are available in person, by video, or by phone. In some cases, your provider may ask you to come in for an in-person visit to ensure the best quality of care. For children ages 5 and under, a parent or guardian must be present for all sessions. Youth ages 12 and older may consent to outpatient mental health services on their own under California law.

Psychiatric Medication Support

Our psychiatric providers work with you to assess your needs and, when appropriate, manage medications as part of your care plan. Psychiatric services require an initial in-person visit. After that, follow-up appointments may be available by phone or video. Please note that psychiatric providers do not provide therapy — therapy and medication support are offered separately but can work together as part of your overall care.

Substance Use Medication Services

We provide support for individuals navigating challenges related to substance use, including opioids, alcohol, methamphetamines, cocaine, tobacco, marijuana, and other substances. You can meet with one of our providers to talk through your options — participation in treatment is always voluntary and you will never be pressured into services. Counseling is not required to access medication services.
