BAPTI recognized as Outstanding Agency

CAMFT (California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists) is an independent professional organization of approximately 32,000 members representing the interests of licensed marriage and family therapists. In 2021, CAMFT awarded BAPTI with the Outstanding Agency award for our mission and work towards providing high quality mental health services to local communities.

An example of exemplary community service is the BAPTI Mental Health Equity Fund, which supports subsidized short-term therapy for low-income clients who would otherwise not be able to afford high-quality psychotherapy services. If you are low-income and are interested in short-term therapy at a reduced rate, please book a free consultation with our intake coordinator.

Our team

BAPTI is a small non-profit organization of pre-licensed, associate marriage and family therapists. This means that our therapists have all completed their graduate degrees, and have the appropriate training and education to practice therapy. They are in different stages of their careers and work under licensed supervisors as part of the required experience to gain full licensure.
