The Counseling and Education Center provides professional affordable counseling services to individuals and families.

The Counseling and Education Center is committed to our Core Values of:

Affordability - by ensuring that counseling is available to all regardless of income levels.

Dedication - by committing to provide counseling services to all who are in need.

Meeting Emotional Needs - by providing affordable professional counseling in a supporting and a caring environment.

Community - by maintaining an environment of respect and hospitality for all.

CEC has served the Grand Junction community since 1982 to troubled individuals and families in need of counseling services.

The Center for Enriched Communication initially began in the home of Sister Faye Huelsmann and Sister Pat Lewter, Sisters of Saint Joseph of Concordia, Kansas.

With the help of grants and donations CEC paid down on and obtained a loan to obtain their present home, at 2708 Patterson Road.

CEC continues to provide affordable counseling services to low income and uninsured individuals of Mesa County.

Clients seek treatment for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, marriage counseling, family dysfunction and behavioral problems.

What Makes us One of a Kind: [see Who We Are]

We provide affordable counseling services. We are able to see families and individuals from all income levels.

We charge on a sliding scale and do not turn anyone in need away.

We do not have any requirements, limits or income criteria on who can come for services.

Our emphasis is on situational, life crisis problems.

We are open Monday thru Fridays AND on some Sundays, including evenings.

Our location is convenient not only by car but by public transportation.

Our emphasis is not on the chronically ill.

We accept Medicaid, RMHP Medicare, and various other insurance plans.

In 2009, CEC provided nearly 4,000 counseling hours to low-income individuals and families. Nineteen (19) adults attended our Anger Management classes. Thirteen (13) children, ages 6 to 13, attended our Power-Aid/Gold Coin classes, a therapeutic support group for children who have witnessed violence.

In 2009, CEC served over 600 children, teenagers, adults, couples and families:

Presently our staffing pattern is: 2.5 fulltime-equivalent administrative staff; 9 full- and part-time counselors, 8 of whom are licensed and one of whom is bilingual English-Spanish.
