Provide a brief demographic and/or diagnostically descriptive statement about the population your program serves:
The Community Counseling Center has a catchment area that stretches from the Santa Maria Valley to Paso Robles. Economically disadvantaged clients of all ages and backgrounds come to the agency for professional therapy services they would otherwise be unable to afford. The primary purpose of CCC programming is to assist 'mild to moderate' presenting individuals and families to develop the ability to find choices and make changes when life becomes difficult during times of transition, confusion, depression, anxiety, stress or grief. No one is denied services on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, physical or mental disability.
