Center for Community Counseling Partnership

We are excited to announce a partnership with Center for Community Counseling!   We recognize that it can be difficult to access therapeutic services right now.  Wait lists can be long.  Paperwork and intake processes can be difficult to navigate, and finding a good fit within limitations of insurance systems can make it feel very challenging.   Couples counseling can be particularly hard to navigate.  

WellMama provides peer support services for pre-and post-baby journeys.  We frequently get requests to help with the process of getting a counselor/therapist.   This partnership will quicken the process for WellMama clients to get access to counseling services quickly and easily.  Center for Community Counseling’s mission is to make therapy accessible and affordable for those who have no others means of getting support. 

What is it?

Center for Community Counseling & WellMama are partnering to offer Individual and couples counseling services for families that are expecting or have had a baby within the last 2 years, or have adopted a child, experienced a pregnancy loss, or the death of their infant, or any other reproductive health event that causes stress, anxiety, or depression.   Relationships during this period can be particularly strained, and we invite our families to participate in couples counseling to strengthen that bond before and after baby arrives.

CCC brings in Master’s Level Interns that are learning and growing as therapists. WellMama will be providing further training and support to designated interns to help them specialize in Perinatal mental health and family syste
