About / Standards
Licensed and accountable.
High Tide is a licensed mental health facility in California — warm care means nothing without clinical rigor. Here is the oversight we answer to, and the standards we hold daily.
State licensure
Licensed by the State of California
Our PHP and IOP programs are licensed and regulated by the State of California, with regular oversight and compliance review.
Clinical staff
Fully licensed clinicians
Every treating clinician holds an active California license — LCSW, LMFT, PsyD, or MD — with higher-level-of-care experience.
Privacy
HIPAA-compliant care
Your records, your conversations, and even your enrollment are protected. Confidentiality is a clinical duty, not a courtesy.
Our clinical standards
What quality care looks like in practice.
Credentials on a wall are the floor, not the ceiling. These are the working standards every client can expect, every day.
- Individualized treatment plans reviewed weekly
- Psychiatrist-supervised medication management
- Evidence-based modalities only — CBT, DBT, EMDR, somatic
- Safety planning and crisis protocols for every client
- Measured outcomes tracked from intake through discharge
- Discharge and aftercare planning from day one
