Child Guidance Center   

Founded in 1967 by a group of concerned parents and mental health professionals, Child Guidance Center (CGC) was created to provide children and families in crisis with early-intervention professional mental and behavioral health treatment services. Today CGC is rated as one of the top 50 nonprofits in Orange County with a team of 90+ licensed mental health clinicians; including psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and marriage and family therapists, serving the mental health needs of over 4,500 children and families annually (including military-connected families) at our clinic locations across Orange County. A majority of our young clients have experienced significant trauma and struggling with severe depression, anxiety, and/or self-harm behaviors and thoughts. We are also a leading training facility, partnering with dozens of high-education partners to build the next generation of mental health professionals.
