The Ohana team provides high fidelity, evidence‑based services for youth in Monterey County presenting a range of psychiatric needs across levels of care: crisis stabilization, residential, PHP/IOP, outpatient, and prevention.

Fellows will also provide psychotherapy and hold a small caseload of individual and family patients.

Child/adolescent fellows will focus on evidence‑based care beginning with anxiety and OCD, with an opportunity to transition to a Dialectical Behavior Therapy track after one year.
