This agency provides the exact same high quality mental health care services as others but doesn't charge rates that prevent less fortunate people from getting help so that anyone and everyone can get care to get better. I know I am glad that Center for Trauma Counseling exists and truly cares about the mental wellness of its clients even when they can't afford to pay.

I feel fortunate to have been part of the team at CTC. Not only does the Center fully care for it's clients, they make sure the therapists themselves receive the outmost support possible when working with the clients.

It is said that a society will be judged on how well it treats their young and their elderly. The Center for Trauma Counseling (CTC) gives passionate care to these vulnerable populations. They find creative ways of reaching and helping people heal trauma so they can move forward in their lives. There are two immediate barriers to providing this type of support for healing.

The first is affordability. CTC continuously searches out partners and funding sources to remove this barrier. While the need is great, those in need don’t know what is available and how to obtain it. Partnering with other organizations is the key to solving this dilemma.

The second barrier is transportation. CTC has implemented multiple “Avenues of Care” in order to reach those in need. They offer in-office visits, community satellite locations and co-located school-based services. Using their Mobile Health Unit, CTC travels to various community partner locations. Their well-trained staff and a comfortable environment go a long way in building the trusting space that is conducive for healing. It is an honor to work with the CTC organization that takes an innovative approach to serving the critical needs of our communities. That is what I call, a Great Nonprofit!

There is a sincere commitment to program improvement and the assembly of talented staff who will provide excellent care to clients. Their mobile unit is a true asset to the Palm Beach County community providing care to adolescents who otherwise may go without services. Center for Trauma Counseling operates in an ethical and professional manner.

I am beyond grateful for the learning experience and support I have received from CTC. As one of their therapist, I can honestly say that my clinical skills have sharpened because of the opportunities provided by this organization. I can attest to Helya, our CEO, always making sure that her staff is heard and is receiving the support they need. I love working here and will continue to serve the community for as long as I can!

The Center for Trauma Counseling (CTC) focuses on the community and helping those in need. For those unable to travel to their office, their Mobile Hope Clinic comes to them. The Mobile Hope Clinic provides assistance to so many underserved people in the community. Having received many grants, they are able to support local schools and many facilities at the Boys & Girls Clubs. I heard firsthand how the Mobile Hope Clinic was able to counsel the often-forgotten parents of a drug-dependent son. That's when I realized how the Center for Trauma Counseling actually touches and improves the lives in our community.

My experience with Center for Trauma Counseling is as a former employee. I worked for CTC for around several years and loved every minute. There were amazing opportunities while there, from going through supervision with Helya, getting my license, refining play therapy skills, becoming trained in EMDR and then utilizing it with clients, there was always something new to learn. There were also so many different ways CTC was involved in the community, from being asked to teach law enforcement, working with the homeless population, school based counselors and then the mobile therapy bus, CTC has a wide range of therapists and abilities to serve so many populations. Years later, I still refer clients to CTC and discuss the different options/opportunities that are offered.

I was going through a tough time in life and finally decided to reach out for help. I was worried about the process of finding a therapist that I felt we can connect and would be able to help me. I assumed this would be a long process frustrating process. Fortunately for me my first stop was Center for Trauma Counseling. Not only were they very responsive, they were very concerned with my issues and asked me question to gauge the best fit for me. They set me up with a therapist who I feel was a perfect fit. The therapist was very attentive to me and helped me greatly work through my issues. I can honestly say I am in a much better place now. I would and have recommended Center for Trauma Counseling for anyone looking to get help.

I am proud to have worked for and with Center for Trauma Counseling for many years. The agency's full focus is to ensure EVERY resident in Palm Beach County (PBC) can access and receive quality, trauma-focused, mental health care services regardless of age, race, ethnicity, insurance coverage or the ability to pay. You simply will not find another agency with a more dedicated and passionate leader than Helya Ortiz! Helya decided over a decade ago that NO ONE in PBC should suffer from lack of access to care, and since then, has dismantled nearly every barrier that stands in the way! Her Mobile Hope Clinic (MHC) is the greatest tangible example of her determination to ensure every resident gets the care they need. Everyone at CTC truly cares about the well being of each client and all go above and beyond everyday to improve their client's lives by helping them improve their mental health. When every member of our community (adults, seniors, and children) can access care and improve their mental wellness, our families are stronger and the entire community is a better, safer, more vibrant place to live. Helya understands this, and has made it her life's mission to make it happen for ALL residents of PBC!
