Virtual teen mental health care built on trust
Mental Health For Teens is a California-based adolescent mental health program offering virtual IOP and outpatient therapy. Clinical Director Chandra Medina, LMFT, leads the program. Care is telehealth for teens physically in California. Our San Diego address is an administrative office — patients are not seen on site.
Help teens heal where they feel safest
Parents call Mental Health For Teens when weekly therapy is not enough — or when getting to a clinic across town means missed sessions and mounting stress. We built a virtual program that keeps teens connected to school, family, and home while delivering the hours, skills training, and clinical oversight that adolescent mental health actually requires.
- Ages 12–17 across California
- Virtual IOP and outpatient tracks
- CBT, DBT, family therapy, and group care
- Insurance verification before enrollment
Accredited, licensed, adolescent-focused
Joint Commission accredited

Built for virtual care
HIPAA-compliant video, home safety planning, and session structures designed for teens — not adult telehealth adapted downward.
