At OTTP-NorCal, we provide client-centered, strengths-based, and customized care. While each program features a different emphasis and offers a unique spectrum of services, our approach is always rooted in the same core principles.
We identify and honor each youth's interests, priorities, and cultural background as the foundation of everything we do.
We find and facilitate opportunities to cultivate each youth's unique strengths — not just address their challenges.
We facilitate utilization of community resources that match each youth's strengths, interests, and goals.
We approach each youth as a whole person — considering their mental, physical, social, and environmental context together.
We empower youth to select their own treatment options, building agency and self-determination from the very first session.
We provide trauma-informed care and healing-centered interventions that create safety, trust, and the conditions for real growth.
We address social skills, healthy decision-making, problem-solving, healthy risk-taking, effective communication, vocational skills and experience, and educational pursuits — the skills that carry into everyday life.
We invite each youth to bring all of themselves to every session.
