Straight Talk Clinic's services aim to add personal clarity, improve levels of functioning, and benefit individuals, families, and ultimately the broader community. We have been meeting the mental health needs of low-income Orange County residents for nearly five decades, contributing to improvements in the overall mental health of our community. Generations of families have benefited from our mental health services, and we receive many referrals from past clients who were able to make positive changes in their lives as a result of our programs. Straight Talk Clinic has built a reputation as one of the premier training facilities for students in master's and doctoral-level programs leading to licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist by the Board of Psychology. For over 40 years, we have trained and prepared mental health professionals for impactful careers throughout Orange County.
