Remote Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner – California

About Us

Alinea Health is an outpatient group mental health practice based in Orange County, CA. We provide services to clients throughout California both remotely and in-person at our clinic. In addition to traditional outpatient services, we are contracted with local high school districts where we provide services both remotely and at an on-campus pop-up clinic in collaboration with the school.

Our ethos is to provide excellent, affordable, and accessible care. In part, we accomplish this goal by working closely with MediCal, both statewide, and in our relationships with numerous MediCal MCO’s throughout California. In our view, improved access to care is not evenly distributed, least of all to those with lower income. Our goal is to significantly improve the quality and accessibility of care to this portion of our communities.
