Connection. Credibility. Community — built for every professional who supports mental health in Orange County.

Private practice doesn’t have to feel private — and neither does running a mental-health-adjacent business.

OC Shrinks is Orange County’s #1 professional network for clinicians, treatment centers & agencies, and the community partners who support the mental health field. It’s where therapists, programs, and aligned professionals stay connected, visible, and supported by people who actually get this work.

If you’re tired of doing it alone, guessing at marketing, or hoping referrals “just happen,” this is for you — and your membership is 100% tax-deductible as a professional expense.

Because investing in your practice shouldn’t feel like a risk — it should feel like support.

“Why Not Just Run Google Ads?”

Sure, you could put your marketing budget into Google Ads — juggling keywords, compliance hoops, and rising click costs.

But for mental health professionals, ads come with baggage:

Strict rules around privacy + sensitive topics
More tech and tracking than most clinicians want to touch
Zero guarantee the right people actually see you

OC Shrinks takes a different approach.

Instead of paying for clicks, you’re investing in:

Being findable in a trusted, therapist-led local directory
Being known by peers who confidently refer to you
Being part of a community that treats you like a human, not a profile

This Is For You If…

You’re a therapist, treatment center, agency, or mental health resource to the community in Orange County
You want steady, aligned referrals
You’re craving a real connection with local professionals
You want marketing to feel simpler, ethical, and doable
