What conditions do you treat?

We specialize in psychosis, schizophrenia, autism, and OCD — along with co-occurring mood and anxiety conditions. Our team is trained in the latest evidence-based approaches for each, from early intervention to complex, later-stage care.

We specialize in teens (13–17) and young adults (18–35) with early or established thought disorders, including co-occurring conditions like Autism, OCD, anxiety, and depression.

What is Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC)?

CSC is an evidence-based, team-delivered model validated by the NIMH RAISE studies. It combines psychiatry, individual therapy, family psychoeducation, supported employment/education, and case management.

Do you accept insurance?

We are out-of-network, although we work with most major commercial plans. Contact our team for a free benefits check and consultation.

Do you offer telehealth?

Yes. Many services are available via secure telehealth across California, alongside in-person programming at our Los Angeles offices.

What We Treat

OUR CORE SPECIALTY IS THE PSYCHOSIS SPECTRUM — with deep expertise in the co-occurring neurodivergent and mood conditions that often complicate diagnosis and recovery.

EVIDENCE · RECOVERY-ORIENTED CARE

Psychosocial Interventions for Schizophrenia & Psychosis

Medication treats symptoms. Psychosocial care builds function — the skills, cognition, and relationships that make recovery real.

The Psychosocial Paradigm

"Symptomatic remission is not the same as functional recovery."

Schizophrenia affects approximately 1% of the population, imposing an economic burden of over $155 billion annually in the US alone. While pharmacotherapy targets positive symptoms, psychosocial interventions are essential for functional recovery, real-world integration, and the persistent cognitive impairments that medication often leaves untouched. Guidelines from NICE, APA, and EPA now mandate integrated care.

Therapeutic Modalities

Interventions grouped by their primary mechanism of change.

CBTp

First-line

Focuses on the appraisal of psychotic experiences. Normalization and cognitive restructuring reduce distress.

TargetSymptom Distress

MCT

Group-based

Addresses underlying cognitive biases (jumping to conclusions, bias against disconfirmatory evidence).

TargetCognitive Architecture

MERIT

Personalized

Individualized, narrative-based therapy focused on forming a cohesive self-narrative and meaning.

TargetSelf-Integration

CRT

Restorative

Behavioral training (drill-and-practice) designed to rehabilitate neurocognitive processes via neuroplasticity.

TargetNeurocognition

SST / CBSST

Skills-Focused

Combines social skill behavioral rehearsal with the "3Cs" cognitive skills and "SCALE" problem-solving.

TargetSocial Competence

ACT

Acceptance-based

Promotes psychological flexibility via cognitive defusion and value-driven behavior.

TargetFlexibility / Values

DBT

Dialectical

Zen mindfulness + CBT. Targets affective dysregulation and high-risk behaviors (NSSI).

TargetEmotion Regulation

Metacognitive Training (MCT) Architecture

MCT addresses "how we think" rather than "what we think." Each module targets a specific cognitive bias.

Evidence Synthesis

CBTp Efficacy: The Control Controversy

Magnitude of standardized mean difference favoring CBTp.

CRT: Therapeutic Synergy

Cognitive remediation in isolation vs. integrated with rehabilitation.

The Third-Wave Impact: ACT & DBT

Third-wave therapies shift focus from "symptom removal" to "psychological flexibility."

ACT Rehospitalization Reduction

Brief ACT interventions (4 sessions) can halve rehospitalization rates at 4-month follow-up.

Standard care (45%)ACT cohort (20%)

DBT & NSSI Reduction

Network meta-analyses show DBT is highly superior to standard care for non-suicidal self-injury.

g = 0.81Large effect size for adolescent NSSI

Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC)

Implementation through the NAVIGATE model (RAISE trial).

The DUP Factor

Duration of Untreated Psychosis (DUP) is the primary moderator of success. Treatment initiated within 74 weeks of onset yields exponentially higher functional gains.

Economic Case (6-Month Profile)

Based on RAISE-ETP data. High upfront team costs are offset by a dramatic reduction in inpatient usage.
