TRADITIONS BEHAVIORAL HEALTH is the largest provider of psychiatric services
to adult populations in institutional and community-based programs in
California.
We have developed a unique multidisciplinary approach that considers the
physical, psychiatric, psychosocial, cultural and medical needs of our adult
and older adult patients in providing our mental health services.
We provide services to the seriously and persistently mentally ill and have
openings in the San Francisco/Bay Area, San Bernardino, San Diego and Los
Angeles.
Due to the tremendous success of our company, this year we have added 34
psychiatrists to our company and increased our contracts by $4,000,000 or
24%. Overall we plan to add 13 more fulltime psychiatrists in California
bringing us to a total of 150 full- and part-time psychiatrists.
In addition to 16 ACT programs we provide the inpatient services for Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Ventura County, in Central California thru Kaweah Delta Health Care in Visalia, Los Angeles thru La Casa PHF and Napa thru St. Helena Hospital. We have over 300 beds in our care in the LA area and over 250 beds in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Our packages vary from a minimum of $190,000 per year, plus $10,000 in bonuses and a benefit package of $57,000, to well over $260,000 for the industrious physician. Our generous benefit package includes almost 7 weeks paid time off per year. Outstanding rural community additional supplements are also available with salaries often as high as $25,000 more than urban areas.
If you are creative and think outside the box, if you value diversity and
cultural competency, if you like innovative programs that are patient
driven, using a rehabilitative, rather than an illness model, if you want
more time to work with patients, to get the best results, then TBH is the
company for you.

A Word from Gary
 |
“I started TBH 13 years ago to provide an environment for psychiatrists and psychologists to see patients the way they were trained. I wanted to create a practice environment focused on outcome, not on time-restricted doctor visits. I wanted to provide a haven from managed care, third party billing, and the administrative challenges that confront doctors. I wanted to allow doctors to do what they do best: take care of patients, who are after all the consumers of our services."
- Gary Hayes, PhD, President
