umanity has made great strides in destigmatizing mental health conditions. Public education efforts have reduced the taboo surrounding the pursuit of treatment and improved understanding of these legitimate conditions. But there is still work to be done to foster a culture of recognition and to establish a better standard of care.
To put things in perspective, approximately half of patients diagnosed with one mental condition will also meet the criteria for another. This makes accurate clinical assessment and proper treatment delivery highly challenging. Furthermore, only a few therapies are consistently successful for illnesses classified via generalized categories, forcing the healthcare community to hasten their efforts to make care more accessible for individuals who need it the most. Many patients still do not receive proper treatment—which means that for every person receiving help for their mental illness, there are others who are not benefitting from effective professional assistance. This generates an immediate need in the market for accurate diagnosis and individualized treatment.
As a leading mental health clinic, PACC Mental Health Services was established to address this very need via its holistic mental health facility and seasoned team of medical experts. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-quality clinical services, a broad range of accurate diagnostic capabilities, and personalized mental illness treatments and support for children, adults, and families challenged mental health disorders and developmental issues such as autism.
PACC’s expertise in treating psychiatric disorders, autism, and persistent developmental issues enables it to provide patient care that consistently exceeds expectations. This success is a testament to the company’s ability to adopt an effective, multidisciplinary approach that provides children, adults, and their families with adaptive functioning skills. In addition, it enriches their quality of life and helps them better assimilate into society.
A Personalized Approach to Care
“Our mental health care center was built to be a one-stop shop for personalized services to patients while placing a strong focus on patient care,” says Amy Karamyan, President of PACC Mental Health Services.
At the core of its clinical services is its proprietary Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) methodology. ABA is used to create highly personalized treatment plans that address the core deficits of all major autism spectrum disorders (ASD)—functional language and communication, social skills, self-help skills, play skills, cognitive skills, and academic performance—among children, teenagers, and adults.
Patients who go through PACC Mental Health Services’ mental health program notice a difference in mental health and day-to-day life within months. The treatment plan comprises goals based on psychological processing, family-involved therapy, and training. Unlike most mental healthcare centers that offer simple talk therapy, the company provides a long-term psychotherapy care program structured with specific guidelines that doctors follow to provide patients with quality treatment. PACC Mental Health Services assesses and creates plans for every patient, and then allocates physicians to work with them on a prescribed basis.
Since autism is a disability, PACC Mental Health Services’ long-term care plan can be a valuable resource for patients and caregivers managing ASD symptoms. In addition to the various treatments offered for children and adults with mental and behavioral disorders, PACC provides services for parents and family members of a patient, including conjoint, group, or individual therapy, as well as education and training for outside the counseling center.

The excellent quality of care provided by PACC Mental Health Services may be largely attributed to the expertise of its assigned doctors—a result reflected in PACC’s astounding record of no patient grievances. In cases where a patient fails to build a personal connection with the assigned doctor, they are welcome to select any other provider in the center to continue their care. This strong patient care service culture is driven by the company’s belief that psychotherapy is a process that requires a patient to connect with and open up to their therapist in order to accept treatment and improve.
None of this would be possible without a dedicated team of professionals comprised of highly skilled and caring individuals. PACC Mental Health Services’ clinical faculty consists of licensed psychologists, clinical social workers, and marriage and family therapists (MFT’s), who are always keen to make a difference in the lives of patients, and the mental health space as a whole. The company’s direct service providers—MFT interns, doctoral practicum students, and psychological assistants—also share the same passion and work toward a unified goal of patient satisfaction. The team is behind the immense success of PACC Mental Health Services, positioning the company as a go-to clinical service provider in North and West Los Angeles County, the San Fernando Valley Area, Lancaster, Palmdale, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Westlake, Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties.
PACC Mental Health Services is on many different insurance panels and can work with insurance companies to compensate for psychological services.
“We do not provide medication support. However, we work with psychiatrists and other medication service providers in the area and can help assist in this treatment collaboration,” says Karamyan.
Moving forward, PACC Mental Health Services is working on adding intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization, MRI, X-Ray, and a psychiatric center to the firm’s already impressive portfolio. It also plans, by the end of 2024, to upgrade the group therapy facility to provide space for 10-person sessions. With the holistic strategy that PACC Mental Health Services provides, children, adults, and their families can gain the everyday skills needed to function and enrich their quality of life and be active members of society.
