Serious Help For Serious Problems
Our Joint Commission-accredited programs instill confidence, hope, and foster the belief that a full and fulfilling life is within reach. We offer the latest techniques delivered by expert, caring clinicians committed to empathetic care in an open, positive, inclusive environment.
We’re committed to providing the best treatment available for children, teens, and adults with mental health and behavioral disorders. Our clinical team includes well-trained psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, and pre-licensed clinicians. We lead the way in California by providing an evidence-based, clinician-tested, fully integrated system of support and care.
Our team of psychiatrists serve our patients exclusively. This is unique: most psychiatrists see patients at more than one treatment center.
Our transitional care system allows BACA patients to step up or down through levels of care based on their individual level of need, stability, and treatment progress. We help the whole family through the entire treatment process, and ensure everyone – parents, siblings, other caregivers – has the support they need to restore balance to the home.
Exclusive psychiatry services and experienced providers mean one thing: treatment services unparalleled in child, adolescent, and young adult mental health.
Our progressive step-down process provides ongoing support and services while transitioning from intensive outpatient treatment to community providers.
All of our services are in network with most major insurance companies.
Our comprehensive intensive outpatient program (IOP) supports teens ages 12-17 with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and other mental health and/or behavioral challenges such as ADHD and ASD.
Our outpatient psychiatric providers are ideal for patients age 5+ who need regular support and medication management.
Ongoing care and support – without gaps or interruption – is essential to healing. We bridge the gap between levels of care to ensure safety, stability, and wellbeing at all phases of treatment.
At all levels of care, our family-centered, patient-first approach includes evidence-based interventions appropriate and effective for a range of mental health and/or behavioral conditions.
We work on behalf of youth and families to create a future they envision for themselves.
We solve important problems together — for our patients, their families, and our communities.
We believe in the value of one and the power of many: together, we’re greater than the sum of our parts.
