Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Center

What Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Center does

Child & Adolescent Behavioral Health Center (CABHC) is a privately held, psychologist-owned behavioral health practice headquartered in Tustin, California, with a second clinical site in Orange. Co-owned by three licensed psychologists — Dr. Patricia Gisbert (Psy.D., English/Tagalog), Dr. Iris Richardson (Ph.D., English/Spanish), and Dr. Morales Knight (Psy.D.) — the practice serves children, teens, and young adults ages 0–26 along with their families across Orange County. Services span individual, family, and group psychotherapy; comprehensive neuropsychological and psychological testing (IQ, ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, full psychoeducational); parent coaching; school consultation and IEP/504 meeting attendance; telehealth; and professional training workshops for schools, pediatricians, and clinical audiences. Care is delivered in English, Spanish, and Tagalog under a brief, solution-focused treatment model in which most clients complete therapy in 6–10 sessions.

The underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: CABHC uses the SimplePractice platform for scheduling, client portal access, and HIPAA-compliant telehealth video sessions accessible via phone, tablet, or computer. There is no proprietary software, no mobile app of its own, and no AI/ML tooling — the practice's intellectual property sits in clinical methodology (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Motivational Interviewing) and the founders' training pedigree rather than in technology. Brand-building is supported by an educational blog, a curated resources library (books, apps, videos, podcasts), and a presence on Facebook and Twitter, alongside in-person presentations to community stakeholders.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through fee-for-service professional billing. Therapy sessions are priced at $300 for a 60-minute intake and $200 per 45–50-minute session, with a typical course of 6–10 sessions; psychological testing ranges from $600 (intellectual assessment only) to $2,500 (complete psychoeducational assessment); consultations and meeting attendance are billed at $200 per hour including travel. CABHC is in-network with Anthem (Blue Cross California), Aetna, Cigna, and Tricare, and provides superbills for out-of-network self-filing. Fees are collected before services are rendered, with cash, check, and HSA/FSA-eligible credit cards accepted, and late-cancellation/no-show penalties of $100 (therapy) and $300 (testing). Distribution is direct-to-consumer: phone consultations (including a complimentary 15-minute consult), the practice website, content marketing, community referrals, and insurance network visibility. No external investors, parent company, or venture funding is disclosed.

Emerging players

• Brightline: Pediatric and family behavioral-health platform offering therapy, coaching, and psychiatry across multiple U.S. states, with a strong telehealth backbone and partnerships with major payors. Overlaps CABHC on family-focused pediatric mental health and parent coaching, but delivers primarily through a virtual, employer/payer-funded model rather than local clinics.
• ADHD Online: Telehealth provider specializing in ADHD assessment and treatment for children and adults. Directly overlaps CABHC's ADHD assessment service line ($1,500 in-person evaluation) and broader ADHD coaching market, but competes on convenience and price via a fully virtual model.
• InStride Health: Specialty pediatric anxiety and OCD provider combining measurement-based therapy with telehealth delivery and parent coaching. Comparable to CABHC on the parent-as-agent-of-change philosophy, brief evidence-based modalities, and child-focused anxiety/ADHD conditions, but narrower condition scope and fully virtual.

Broad incumbents

• Child Mind Institute: Large nonprofit pediatric mental-health organization delivering evaluations, therapy, and parent resources nationally. Shares CABHC's child/adolescent focus, diagnostic testing emphasis, and family-education mission, but operates at a much larger scale and from New York rather than Southern California.
• Mindpath Health: Outpatient mental-health group practice offering therapy, psychiatry, and telehealth across multiple states with both adult and pediatric services. Comparable to CABHC on insurance-driven outpatient behavioral-health delivery and brief-therapy positioning, but broader in age range and condition scope.
• Lyra Health: Employer- and payer-funded mental-health benefits platform providing therapy, coaching, and psychiatry, including services for children and teens. Comparable to CABHC on parent-coaching-inclusive family offerings and broad commercial-payor relationships, but delivered virtually at national scale rather than via local clinics.

Direct peers

• Cortica: Pediatric neurodevelopmental care network combining medical, behavioral (ABA), and family-coaching services for children with autism and related conditions. Comparable to CABHC on integrated therapy + testing + parent-empowerment model and neurodevelopmental diagnostic depth, with a similar age band (early childhood through adolescence).
• Hopebridge: Multi-site pediatric behavioral health provider focused on autism, ABA, and related developmental services across the Midwest and Southeast. Closely matches CABHC's age range (young children through teens), neurodevelopmental diagnostic offering, and parent-coaching orientation, but at significantly larger scale and with a heavier ABA tilt.
• Empower Behavioral Health: Multi-state provider of ABA, speech, occupational, and behavioral-health services for children with autism and developmental delays. Comparable to CABHC in target population (children/adolescents), service breadth (assessment plus ongoing therapy), and family-centric delivery, though anchored more heavily in ABA than CABHC's ACT/PCIT approach.

Regional players

• OC Pediatric Neuropsychology Group: Independent Orange County-area practice specializing in neuropsychological and psychoeducational evaluations for children and adolescents. Closest regional analog to CABHC's testing arm (autism, learning disability, ADHD, psychoeducational assessments) and shares the same Southern California referral network.
