These centers offer counseling, therapy, crisis intervention, and educational programs, often on a sliding fee scale to ensure accessibility. Staffed by licensed counselors, social workers, and sometimes graduate interns, they help address a variety of concerns such as depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and relationship issues.
