While we specialize in providing trauma-focused therapeutic services, we also cover a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, emotion dysregulation, and self-growth. We offer low-cost options so that our services are accessible to all and all of our treatment services are provided on a sliding scale based on income. Therapy is offered in both virtual and in-person settings. We also offer comprehensive psychological testing. IVAT also offers forensic services. The forensic team at IVAT serves clients who are involved in criminal, family, and civil cases involving a broad range of forensic issues (sexual or physical), including child custody, child abuse, family violence allegations, sexual assault, and trauma.
All clinicians at IVAT are trained in various trauma-focused and evidenced-based treatments with specific specialty areas in child abuse and maltreatment and intimate partner violence. Because IVAT is a resource and training center, our clinicians have access to and participate in the latest mental health research. IVAT’s clinicians participate in continuous training in order to enhance their clinical skills and keep current on emerging mental health issues. We believe that everyone has a right to get help, regardless of financial situation. That’s why we offer an income-based sliding scale for mental health services.
We understand that seeking help can be difficult, but reaching out is the first step to healing. Contact us for a consultation about our services and to discuss how we can best help you. We have offices in San Diego and Los Angeles. We offer telehealth as well.
