Thank you for reaching out to the Institute for Girls’ Development.

For 22 years, we were honored to serve Pasadena and the surrounding communities. We were deeply grateful for the trust you placed in our team and for the opportunity to support children, teens, and families through important moments of growth and development.

Our organization closed in March 2026, and the members of our team have transitioned to new practice settings in the Pasadena area. We look forward to continuing to support families in the years ahead.

Below, you’ll find our current contact information.
