SCCC: Over 50 years of providing affordable mental healthcare to Los Angeles
In 1966, Hans Hoffman, a psychologist, and Ben Weininger, a psychiatrist, founded the Southern California Counseling Center with a belief that no one should be denied mental health counseling because of limited financial means. Since that time, SCCC has evolved to provide an array of programs and services designed to address the diverse mental health needs of the communities we serve. Our mission has remained the same and we continue to believe that mental health care is a right, not a privilege.
Trauma & Resiliency Training & Services
Trauma & Resiliency Training & Services at the Southern California Counseling Center consist of equipping counselors with all the necessary tools to assist clients process and heal from a traumatic experience that often renders them ‘stuck’, as noted by clients who struggle. Processing PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and learning about how to stay in one’s ‘resilient zone’ is one example of the specialized therapy available to our clients. Additionally, we are the only known Center to offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) at a sliding scale.
School Based Counseling
SCCC sends counselors to six nearby LAUSD schools to provide free on-site counseling to struggling students. In addition, an invitation is extended to come to SCCC where the entire family can engage in counseling at the Center — also for free. This service is made possible by the support of generous donors and grants.
