My name is Hyatt Ames, and I am the Chief Operating Officer of The REAL Institute, an outpatient behavioral health practice serving adults, children, teens, and families in the greater Sacramento region. With a background in operations and systems building, I focus on creating accessible, client‑centered services and strong partnerships with our fellow medical providers, and community organizations. I oversees our outreach coordinator, referral processes, and practice development, and is committed to making it easier for professionals to connect the people they serve with thoughtful, trauma‑informed care.
