Specializing in the treatment of trauma and mood disorders including PTSD, depression and anxiety, We offer an innovative suite of therapeutic support services designed to promote rapid, lasting recovery. Our services include individual psychotherapy, intensive outpatient programming, as well as workshops in specific aspects of trauma healing, and our programs are designed specifically to integrate healing into daily life with minimal disruptions to living. Available virtual or hybrid in-person/virtual.

Our Outreach Program eliminates transportation as a barrier to care for underserved Santa Cruz County residents at many venues, including schools, skilled nursing facilities (SNFs), and our one-chair Outreach Clinic at Housing Matters in Santa Cruz.

Our partnerships provide patients who might not otherwise get access to dental services to the treatment they need.

At our outreach sites, our staff delivers oral health evaluations including x-rays, and procedures such as cleanings and fluoride varnish. Those patients who require more complex care are referred back to our clinic.

Dientes provides oral health education and preventive services in six school districts (Pajaro Valley Unified, Live Oak, San Lorenzo Valley, Soquel Unified, Santa Cruz City & Santa Cruz County Office of Education) at 30+ schools. The program has been a huge success since its inception in 2009.

Dientes offers comprehensive specialty care for patients who previously had to leave the county and wait several months to access services, because there was no endodontist or oral surgeon in Santa Cruz County that accepted Medi-Cal. Through our Specialty Care Program, adults and children can receive root canals, extractions, and other surgical procedures from an oral surgeon and endodontist.
