Leadership

Clinic Staff includes executive and administrative personnel and mental health professionals. The clinical staff consists of psychiatrists, clinical social workers, marriage and family therapists, clinical psychologists and case managers. Professional staff have masters or doctorate degrees in their fields and are either licensed by the State of California or are registered interns. These mental health professionals bring a broad base of experience, education and training to the Child Guidance Clinic. 

The Clinic's Board of Directors consists of 21 volunteers from throughout the community. The Board provides the foundation upon which the Clinic builds its vision for the future. The Child Guidance Clinic seeks to recruit board members who are recognized community leaders who bring with them a broad range of professional experience and insight.

Clinic Management works collaboratively with the Board of Directors, which provides support, guidance, advice, and oversight in matters of policy, finance and planning. The following is a list of the Clinic's management team:
