Every member of our clinical team holds an active California license and specializes in adolescent mental health. Warm, direct, and skilled at earning trust — especially with teenagers who are skeptical of therapy.
We do not rotate teens through a generalist intake pool. IOP and outpatient teens work with a consistent clinical team — the same people in individual, group, and family sessions whenever clinically appropriate.
Adolescent training
Clinicians complete specialized training in teen development, safety assessment, family systems, and telehealth delivery before joining our active caseload.
Matched by acuity
Assessment determines level of care and clinician match — anxiety, trauma, mood, and behavioral presentations are staffed to clinicians with relevant specialty experience.
Continuity of care
Step-down from IOP to outpatient prioritizes keeping the same treating clinician — so rapport and treatment history are not reset mid-recovery.
PsyD · Clinical Director
Dr. Ellis oversees clinical standards, training, and quality review across our virtual adolescent programs. Her background includes community mental health, school-based services, and intensive outpatient care for teens with anxiety and trauma presentations.
Representative roles on our clinical team. Individual clinician assignment depends on assessment, availability, and specialty fit.
LMFT · Lead Family Therapist
Marcus leads family sessions and parent coaching across IOP and outpatient tracks — helping caregivers support skill practice without becoming the therapist at home.
MD · Adolescent Psychiatrist
Dr. Nair provides psychiatric consultation when medication may support therapy — with conservative, teen-specific prescribing and close coordination with treating therapists.
LCSW · DBT Skills Clinician
Jordan facilitates DBT skills groups and individual DBT-informed sessions — with diary card review and coaching strategies for teens and parents during emotional escalation.
LMFT · IOP Group Facilitator
Elena moderates IOP skills groups sized for participation — practicing exposures, social scenarios, and CBT modules in a clinician-led peer setting.
In outpatient care, yes — your teen's individual therapist stays consistent. In IOP, teens have a primary individual clinician plus group facilitators who coordinate on the same treatment plan. We avoid rotating intake clinicians for ongoing care.
Yes. Every treating clinician holds an active California license in their discipline (psychology, marriage and family therapy, clinical social work, or medicine). Credentials are verified before any clinician joins our team.
During intake we ask about preferences and presentation. We match based on clinical fit, availability, and specialty — and we will tell you honestly if a requested clinician is not the best match for your teen's needs.
No. Psychiatric consultation is available when clinically indicated — often when therapy alone has plateaued or symptoms suggest medication may help. Many teens in our programs never see a prescriber. Medication decisions are collaborative with parents and teens.
The best way to understand our team is a conversation — tell us about your teen, ask about clinician backgrounds, and learn who would likely lead their care.
