Leading Mental Health Care Provider Expands Presence, Insurance Accessibility
LOS ANGELES (Sept. 15, 2023) — Embark Behavioral Health is providing accessible mental health services to a larger population of youths, young adults, and their families in Southern California by enrolling clients at three new outpatient clinics in the region. The leading network of mental health treatment programs for young people and their families now has locations in Woodland Hills, West Los Angeles, and Newport Beach.
The new clinics offer comprehensive, evidence-based treatment for a range of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and more.
Embark strategically chose the Woodland Hills, West Los Angeles, and Newport Beach, California, locations to provide convenient access for individuals living in these areas. The goal is to eliminate barriers to mental health care by making the clinics easily accessible and creating a warm and welcoming environment for clients. All locations provide an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and a therapeutic day treatment program, also known as a partial hospitalization program, or PHP.
“We’re reaffirming our commitment to providing accessible and evidence-based mental health services to those in need,” said Jeremy Behling, group president of outpatient clinics. “Through partnerships like Anthem Blue Cross California, we aim to ensure that quality care is affordable for our clients, underscoring our dedication to breaking down barriers to mental health care, fostering a nurturing environment for healing and growth.”
The partnership with in-network insurance partner Anthem Blue Cross California allows individuals with Anthem Blue Cross insurance to access services at Embark Behavioral Health outpatient clinics and residential treatment centers in California with ease. In addition, Embark works with most insurance carriers, whether in-network or out-of-network. This commitment ensures that individuals have options when it comes to seeking mental health support.
