PACC Mental Health Services earned a 2026 Global Recognition Award for its doctoral-level clinical model, where 35 licensed psychologists deliver coordinated care, training programs, and targeted interventions to children, adults, veterans, and families encountering obstacles in accessing specialized mental health services.
— PACC Mental Health Services has earned a 2026 Global Recognition Award for establishing the nation’s only doctoral-led outpatient mental health center, where more than 35 licensed psychologists provide coordinated care to individuals and families across multiple communities. The recognition follows a structured selection process that utilized the Rasch model to create linear measurement scales, which enabled evaluators to compare applicants with precision across diverse achievement categories. The organization demonstrated notable performance in leadership, service, and mentoring while meeting defined criteria for industry recognition, innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility.
The center addresses critical barriers in mental healthcare delivery while maintaining clinical standards that exceed conventional industry practices, and its clinicians apply research-informed methods in day-to-day work. PACC Mental Health Services has built a model that emphasizes ethical practice and client-centered planning, which has positioned the organization as a national example of how outpatient mental health services can be conceptualized and delivered. The service array includes psychotherapy, psychological assessment, Applied Behavior Analysis, and focused support for veterans who require trauma-informed interventions, so that treatment can be aligned with the needs of distinct client groups.
Clinical Excellence And Innovation
PACC Mental Health Services has adopted a doctoral-led framework that differs from typical outpatient mental health models that depend primarily on master’s-level clinicians with limited oversight and uneven quality controls. All diagnostic evaluations, treatment plans, and clinical supervision are carried out by psychologists holding doctoral degrees, which builds a consistent structure for accountability, diagnostic accuracy, and targeted intervention. The organization applies an integrated care approach with clear role assignments and regular team coordination, and this structure is consistent with findings that organized and collaborative services are linked to better client outcomes than fragmented systems.
The clinical framework requires that all treatment decisions undergo review by doctoral-level psychologists who have expertise in advanced case conceptualization and evidence-based strategies, so each plan can address complex emotional and behavioral profiles. This review process helps ensure that clients receive care informed by current research and adjusted over time to match changes in emotional, behavioral, developmental, and relational functioning. PACC Mental Health Services combines different evidence-based methods into unified treatment plans that address symptoms, behavior patterns, and family system dynamics, while veterans receiving services work with clinicians trained in trauma-informed practices who understand the pressures associated with military service and combat exposure.
Leadership And Community Impact
The organization’s leadership extends into structured mentoring programs that support early-career mental health practitioners in ethical decision-making, advanced clinical skills, and implementation of evidence-based interventions under the guidance of experienced doctoral-level supervisors. These programs create routes for career progression while strengthening the wider mental health workforce through systematic sharing of knowledge and practical competencies. Mentees report meaningful professional growth and improved ability to serve clients with complex needs, and this contributes to talent development that influences practice standards in surrounding regions.
Service initiatives are directed toward underserved populations who experience persistent obstacles when they seek specialized mental health services, including families managing autism spectrum disorders, individuals living with serious mental health conditions, and communities with limited access to psychological care. The center maintains long-term viability through consistent clinical outcomes, collaborative partnerships that extend services beyond traditional clinic settings, and participation in insurance networks that include Medi-Cal and Medicare. Evidence-based interventions have produced documented improvements in client functioning, relationship quality, emotional regulation, and broad wellness indicators, which illustrates the organization’s capacity to respond to societal needs through structured clinical practice and thoughtful service delivery.
Final Words
PACC Mental Health Services represents a comprehensive rethinking of outpatient mental healthcare that gives priority to doctoral-level clinical expertise, individualized treatment planning, and long-term client outcomes rather than simple volume-based indicators. Founder Arevik Karamyan established the organization on principles of clinical integrity, high professional standards, and measured compassion, which support durable structures for addressing complex mental health needs across varied populations. The recognition reflects both the organization’s current achievements and its capacity to shape future industry standards across the country through documented clinical results and sustained workforce development.
Alex Sterling, spokesperson for Global Recognition Awards, reflected on the significance of this achievement and highlighted its broader relevance for mental health practice. “PACC Mental Health Services demonstrates strong leadership through its commitment to doctoral-level care, measurable community impact, and professional development work that addresses important challenges across the mental health sector. The organization’s vision and integrity support high standards for clinical quality that reach beyond individual treatment outcomes and inform how mental healthcare delivery structures can be organized to address complex client needs in a consistent and effective manner.” The center continues expanding its geographic reach while preserving the clinical standards and ethical commitments that distinguish it as a model for outpatient mental health treatment nationwide.
