What Openminds Foundation does

OpenMinds Foundation (legal name: The OpenMinds Foundation Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit mental health clinic headquartered at 4213 State St STE 302, Santa Barbara, California, founded as a for-profit private practice and converted to nonprofit status during the COVID-19 pandemic to broaden insurance-based access to adolescent and family mental health services in the region. The organization is co-led by Executive Director Joseph Fleming and Clinical Director Ali Fleming, PsyD, with a board that includes co-founders and Shane Lopes. Tax ID 88-4179016.

Core service lines are individual therapy, family therapy, group therapy, holistic therapy-first psychiatric medication management (restricted to youth under 18 concurrently enrolled in therapy), comprehensive psychological assessments for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder, and the structured 4-week Connected Parent coaching program. The clinical team of roughly fourteen licensed and associate-level providers (LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, ACSW, psychologist, PMHNP, psychological associates) brings specialty expertise in LGBTQ+ care, eating disorders, trauma, autism, cultural-affirming practice, and bilingual (French) service. Ancillary programs include quarterly Special Mind & Body Sessions delivered in partnership with CorePower Yoga.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service insurance billing, with in-network contracts across Aetna, Cigna, Optum/United Healthcare, Anthem Blue Cross, and CA BlueShield, plus CenCal Health (Medi-Cal) pending. Patients access care via the Ritten online portal, a structured online provider referral form, school and community partnerships, and a free phone consultation. Out-of-pocket offerings include the Connected Parent Program at $120 for a four-week commitment with sliding-scale availability, and tax-deductible donations accepted through Zeffy. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and insurance-network-anchored, with telehealth offered to extend reach beyond the single physical clinic.
