Open Paths mission is to meet the evolving health care needs of the community through quality counseling for individuals and families at affordable fees; free therapy programs for at-risk children and youth in local schools; and a highly-regarded therapist training program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Paths Counseling Center has a forty year history of providing quality, affordable, psychotherapy to Los Angeles residents who would otherwise lack mental health care due to lack of affordability, cultural sensitive, proximity or other barriers. Typical clients struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and/or trauma, much of which is exacerbated by living in poverty or with other types of societal marginalization. Open Paths has evolved as one of the most diverse counseling centers in Los Angeles. We recognize the importance of diversity as central to our mission of “meeting the evolving mental health needs of the community…” and understand how important providing culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed psychotherapy is for our clients. Recognizing the inherent benefits of diversity, Open Paths’ board of directors, leadership team, and clinical staff are as culturally diverse as our clientele. This is deliberate so that our clients can see their cultural experiences reflected back to them every week when they engage in psychotherapy with us.
