The Counseling & Education Center (CEC) is a non-profit organization that provides mental health counseling to anyone in need. 

**When you support CEC, you're giving someone in crisis a lifeline. You're helping a struggling parent find strength. You're giving a child the tools to heal from trauma. You're making professional mental health care accessible to neighbors who have nowhere else to turn.**

**The need is real**. Anyone who has tried to find a therapist knows how hard it can be - therapists with no openings, insurance that won't cover it, costs that are impossibly high. For low-income families in Mesa County, these barriers can feel insurmountable.

**CEC breaks down those barriers.** We provide professional, trauma-informed counseling to adults, teens, children, and families - regardless of income or insurance. No eligibility requirements. No session caps. Just compassionate, high-quality care in comfortable spaces that rival any private practice. Our highly trained therapists work with clients of all ages - from 3 on up - addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Most of our clients are living with low income, with 65% using Medicaid and others paying as little as $15 per session.

**We're also building the future.** Through our workforce development program, we train the next generation of therapists, expanding Mesa County's mental health workforce so more people can access the care they need.

**And we're growing to serve more.** In mid-2026, we're opening a second location in Orchard Mesa, bringing mental health care directly to an underserved community of over 7,000 residents.

**YOUR DONATION HELPS MORE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY ACCESS PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING THAT THEY CAN AFFORD.**

Testimonials

A sampling of comments from our counseling clients (anonymous to protect confidentiality):

*"You were there for me when nobody else was."*

*"I was determined to take control of my life after years of drinking due to sexual abuse. I had no money, no job and lived with friends. CEC took me in, accepted me, and worked with me for 2 years. During that time, I gained more confidence, found a job and graduated with a degree. I have CEC to thank for helping me become a better person."*

*"I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for me and my family, we could not have done it without your services."*

*"The most compassionate and professional care I've ever received from counselors and staff."*
