About Center for Individual and Family Counseling
Center for Individual and Family Counseling is a community based mental health agency in Los Angeles offering outpatient therapy for individuals, couples and families, children and adults. The center provides evidence informed counseling that addresses anxiety, depression and trauma, relationship concerns and sobriety support through approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy and solution focused care.
For nearly five decades, I think it's noteworthy how the center has prioritized accessible, affordable mental health services through a sliding scale model designed to meet clients where they are.
Services are offered on a sliding scale, self pay basis to prioritize affordability.
Sobriety Support in Los Angeles
The center's outpatient therapy services include dedicated sobriety support and relapse prevention counseling as part of a comprehensive mental health approach. Clients begin with an intake appointment and are matched with a therapist suited to their goals, whether addressing substance use concerns, co-occurring mental health conditions or life transitions.
Sessions use evidence informed techniques to explore underlying patterns, build coping skills and create sustainable strategies for long term wellness. Treatment is personalized to each client's needs with flexible scheduling and a focus on both immediate challenges and root causes.
Affirming Care for All
Center for Individual and Family Counseling explicitly offers LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy and works with court mandated and DCFS referred clients alongside general mental health populations. I appreciate how the center's therapists, including supervised associates and interns in training programs, bring a range of perspectives to serve diverse communities across California.
