A Mission to Transform Behavioral Health
Healing at the Root. Expanding Access. Elevating Care.
California Healing Horizons was founded on a singular mission: to address the underlying causes of mental health and substance use challenges through evidence-based, compassionate, and deeply personalized care. Led by Dr. Ina Creekbaum, our organization blends clinical expertise with a commitment to healing that goes far beyond symptom management.
Through our strategic partnership with Medford Group, Inc., we bring together clinical excellence and operational strength—creating a fully integrated behavioral health model that is both impactful and scalable.
Our Vision
To redefine behavioral health care by expanding access to high-quality, root-cause-focused treatment throughout Riverside County and ultimately across Southern California. We aim to build a future where mental health support is accessible, research-driven, and designed to create lasting change for individuals, families, and communities.
Our Commitment
We are dedicated to expanding access to high-quality behavioral health care, delivering root-cause-focused treatment, and creating supportive, transformative spaces where individuals can heal and thrive. Through compassionate clinical care and strong operational foundations, we work to strengthen families, uplift communities, and set a new standard for mental health services in Southern California.
