California's adolescent psychiatry shortage
California has roughly 600 child and adolescent psychiatrists for over 9 million children and teens. Children's Hospital LA, UCSF Benioff, and Rady Children's all run multi-month wait lists for outpatient psychiatric intake. Suburban families in Orange County, the Inland Empire, and the Central Valley often have no in-network adolescent psychiatrist within an hour's drive.
Our California-licensed adolescent-trained clinicians close that gap by video. Same-week intake, evening appointments after school, and a clinical model designed around how teenagers actually communicate — which is to say, not on a 30-minute couch.
