Help is here.

Emotional stress should never be ignored. That’s why Caminar’s Palo Alto location is offering new services for young people ages 11-25 who may benefit from caring, professional support. Services are lower-cost, out-of-pocket, and will be available in person or via telehealth starting in early 2025.

Be the first to schedule an appointment for late 2025, or get help now by contacting us today. Everything shared is strictly confidential unless contacting emergency services becomes essential to ensure an individual’s safety.

Help is just a call or email away.
