About Us: At BACA, we are committed to delivering ambulatory mental health services to youth and young adults at a higher level of acuity than can be optimally managed in a standard outpatient setting. Therefore we offer Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Programs, including Dual Diagnosis, and a Transitional Outpatient Clinic, with return to primary care when feasible. Our vision, mission, and values drive every aspect of our organization, and we are seeking a dedicated Medical Director to lead and inspire our team of psychiatrists and licensed therapists in Berkeley across these levels of care.
