OUR STORY
30 years of healing & building a community
Est. 1996 路 Santa Ana, California
Casa de la Familia is a DOl(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1996 by Clinical Psychologist Dr. Ana Nogales. Built on the vision of ensuring long-lasting mental health success for individuals who have experienced psychological trauma, Casa de la Familia has grown from a small community practice into a multi-program organization serving thousands of families across Southern California.
In 2026. we celebrate 30 years of working towards a future where all survivors of trauma and violence have access to mental healthcare: bilingual, culturally responsive, and available to those who need it.
Our services are rooted in the belief that no one should 聽have to face trauma alone. And that accessible mental health care is a right.
