The Center for Professional Counseling Honored with CAMFT Outstanding Agency Award

The Center for Professional Counseling has been awarded the prestigious CAMFT Outstanding Agency Award for 2024 by the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT). This recognition celebrates the center's significant psychotherapy contributions and unwavering dedication to community service.

Led by Dr. Jack Mayhall, an adjunct faculty member at Pepperdine University, the center has been instrumental in training future therapists since its founding in 1976. Over the years, it has provided over 215,000 hours of counseling to more than 28,000 clients, offering accessible mental health care through a sliding scale fee structure.

A key initiative of the center is its School-Based Mental Health services, which support 75 youths across five Title-one (low-income) and ethnically diverse schools, funded by a Kaiser grant.

The award will be presented at the CAMFT Annual Conference Membership Meeting on May 4, 2024, at the LAX Marriott. For more information on the conference, visit their website.

The Center for Professional Counseling's recognition underscores its commitment to excellence and community impact, setting a standard of compassionate care in psychotherapy.
