Programs
Oakes' Core Programs include our Outpatient, Public School Mental Health Partnership, Clinical Training, and Caregiver Support. See details below.
Oakes' Values
All Oakes' Clinicians and Therapists are professionally trained and work together with children and families in trauma-informed ways to improve their individual outcomes in school and in life.
Partnership Program
Our Public School Mental Health Partnership is now serving individuals and working in SOAR classrooms in over 62 schools, along with our Outpatient Program.
Outpatient Program
Oakes' Outpatient services serve individuals at schools and after school, particularly those on the autism spectrum. We also offer clients therapy in small group settings at our Center.
Caregiver Support
Oakes offers the caregivers and parents of all of our clients an opportunity to meet and learn with other parents and the free support of our clinicians at our Center.
Group Therapy
Oakes offers individual and group therapy at our Center. Please see announcements below for details.
Oakes' Gaming Group
Oakes Gaming Group is for youth aged 12-15 years old. This therapy group is a great space for youth who are over-engaged with online gaming or lacking in social connections to get support in developing more meaningful relationships, build self-esteem, and practice emotional regulation strategies. Members must have Medi-Cal to participate.
Oakes Gaming Group is set to wrap for this Spring. Return date of the program is TBD.
