How to refer a client

Thank you for thinking of us. We're a group therapy practice of licensed and associate therapists, seeing clients ages 8 and up in person at our Sacramento office and by telehealth anywhere in California. Physicians, pediatricians, school counselors, coaches and fellow therapists can refer through our secure, HIPAA-compliant message form. We reply within one business day.
