Who We Are

Golden State Family Counseling Center is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation that provides counseling to individuals, couples, children, teens and families throughout California.

Sessions are held by secure telehealth, so care is available wherever you live in the state, and fees are reduced based on household income. We work with each client to understand their goals and build a plan that fits their life.

Our Mission

To provide affordable mental health counseling and psychological services to individuals, children and families across California, so that cost is never the reason a family goes without care.

Our Approach

Our clinicians draw on evidence-based approaches and fit them to each person and family.

01

Family Systems Therapy

We look at the whole family, not just one person, so changes made in therapy last at home.

02

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Practical tools to change the thoughts and habits that keep anxiety, low mood and stress going.

03

Trauma-Informed Care

Care that puts safety, trust and choice first, at a pace that feels right for the client.

04

Somatic Approaches

Work that includes the body, helping clients notice and settle stress where it is held.

Our Values

Access

Fees are based on household income, and care is offered by telehealth so distance is never a barrier.

Families at the Center

We work with the whole family system, and keep children's needs at the center of every plan.

Quality and Oversight

Every clinician's work is supervised by a licensed professional and grounded in evidence-based practice.

Your Care

How Care Is Provided

Therapy at Golden State Family Counseling Center is provided by clinicians who work under the clinical supervision of a California-licensed mental health professional. Some clients are seen by a Psychology Trainee, a doctoral student in clinical psychology who provides therapy under that licensed supervision.

Before your first session you will be told who your clinician is, their exact title and training status, and who supervises their work. Supervision is part of every client's care and is covered by the same confidentiality as your sessions.
