Counseling
Community Counseling Center is a non-profit organization that provides short-term, low-cost counseling for individuals, couples and families who would not otherwise be able to afford it. Most clients have no insurance and a low to moderate income.
Qualifying Issues or Concerns
Our volunteer counselors see children, adolescents, and adults of all ages with a variety of problems including: anxiety, depression, eating disorders, marital and family issues, parenting, gay/lesbian issues, anger, grief, phobias, stress, and transitional issues that can be helped by short-term counseling. We do not have a walk-in clinic for emergency situations nor address chronic mental health problems.
Cost of Counseling
Sliding scale fees are based on the clients' ability to pay, and there is a small fee for the initial intake session. No one is denied service because of their inability to pay. Client fees help with the agency's operating expenses.
