History
Low Cost Community Counseling Center first opened it's doors in the city of Downey in 1971. Later, it was moved to expand it's facilities in the Santa Fe Springs area. In those days it was known first as Downey Area Counseling Center and then South East Area Counseling Center. In 2010, to reflect the increasing financial needs of the population, we changed our name to it's existing name, Low Cost Community Counseling Center. Our counselors are warm and caring people, who have been trained to help you learn to cope with your personal problems. The counselors are paraprofessionals who work under the supervision and guidance of licensed professionals, psychologist, marriage/family, child counselors and licensed clinical social workers. We also offer a unique opportunity for those interested in a career in the psychological counseling field. Call for details!
