We're not just a clinic; we're part of a larger effort to change mental health care.
Human Wellness was founded by Dr. Courtney Tracy, who overcame all the disorders we treat, and defied odds by becoming a respected clinical entrepreneur and psychotherapist. Both her personal and professional experience in the field highlighted the need for psychological healthcare that prioritizes understanding and fights inner-profession stigma for those with similar challenges.
With ten years of experience directing and founding California's leading treatment centers, Dr. Tracy identified a gap in outpatient therapy for complex mental health conditions. Human Wellness is built on empathy, expertise, and a commitment to comprehensive wellness, offering hope and vital support for mental health.
