The struggle with access to counseling services is two-fold. There has been a recent increase in requests for services for youth after COVID, and there is also a shortage of services available and those services often don’t accept private health insurance.
13% of teens and young adults
suffer from crippling, serious mental health disorders
More than half of Santa Barbara families have private health insurance from employers and can not utilize their health insurance for mental health services
1 of 5 teens
suffer from Anxiety and/or other mental health disorders on a frequent basis
A parent shared their struggles in finding mental health support for their daughter during an interview focused on Youth Behavioral Health:
“The school suggested that I find her a psychologist or therapist. However, we hit a roadblock because none of the available providers would accept our insurance; they only accepted CenCal, which we don’t have. It’s been incredibly frustrating because all the therapists and psychologists seem to want cash payment, which is something we can’t afford. As a result, my daughter hasn’t been able to get the help she desperately needs.”

We accept most insurances and are dedicated to making mental health treatment affordable and accessible for our community. We support all family members in treatment and committed to delivering client-centered, culturally competent, and evidence-based care
