In the US, 1 in 5 adults experience mental health problems. However, many Americans still have limited access to mental healthcare. In fact, 56% of American adults who suffer from mental illness don’t get treatment, while 76% of youth have no or limited access to it.

Hurtt Family Health Clinic strives to change these statistics for the better. Our Orange County mental health services are offered in all of our medical facilities in Anaheim, Tustin, and Santa Ana. These clinics serve as a tool to bridge the gap between quality mental health care and individuals who need it the most.

At Hurtt Family Health Clinic, we understand that every story is unique and factors differ from one patient to another. That’s why we only deliver individualized approaches to assess and define a treatment plan that is right for you.

Our mental health therapists and healthcare professionals are highly experienced in providing a nurturing and relational context guidance and assistance. We also have licensed clinical social workers should you need individual or family counseling.
