About

Harmony CMHC is dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment where healing, recovery, and personal growth can truly take place. Located in Inglewood and serving the greater Los Angeles community, our mission is to provide compassionate, accessible, and client-centered mental health care for individuals and families of all backgrounds. We believe mental health treatment should feel personal, respectful, and community-oriented — a place where every individual is treated with dignity, understanding, and hope.

Leadership

Our program is led by Dr. Hiruy H. Gessesse, MD, Psychiatrist and Medical Director, who spearheads the treatment team with dedication, clinical excellence, and a deep commitment to the well-being of every client we serve. Dr. Gessesse works closely with our multidisciplinary team to guide the healing process and ensure that each individual receives thoughtful, comprehensive, and personalized care. His leadership reflects a strong belief in holistic and family-centered treatment that addresses emotional, behavioral, social, and psychological wellness.

Education & Expertise

Dr. Gessesse earned his medical degree from the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and completed advanced psychiatric training through the University of Southern California and UCLA Medical Center, including specialized fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. Over the course of his career, he has refined his expertise through work at leading institutions including LA County Hospital and UCLA, developing extensive experience in the treatment of mood disorders, anxiety, addiction, trauma, bipolar disorder, and other complex psychiatric conditions.

Commitment

At Harmony CMHC, we believe in treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit. Under Dr. Gessesse’s direction, our clinical approach combines psychotherapy, evidence-based treatment, psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, psychosocial rehabilitation, and community-based support services. We recognize that lasting recovery involves more than symptom management alone; it requires building stability, connection, resilience, and long-term wellness within individuals and families alike.

Vision

Harmony CMHC is more than a treatment center — it is a place of support, compassion, and renewed hope for the community. Our vision is to strengthen lives by making high-quality mental health services more accessible, inclusive, and effective for those who need them most. Through professionalism, empathy, and a commitment to excellence, we strive to help individuals and families move toward healthier, more stable, and more fulfilling lives.
