Vida Counseling Group is committed to providing clients with quality services guided by the improvement of clients’ lives by targeting goals, understanding the unique needs of each individual, and collaborating to develop tailored treatment plans that promote growth, healing, and resilience. As an organization, we have taken small steps to widen services that are in tune with our vision and mission. Although we started with a private mental health counseling practice, through the years we added case management services and applied behavior analysis as they were visible needs in our community.

Our Mission is to provide professional, affordable, and highly effective mental counseling services to a wide range of clients.  Providing high-quality behavioral health and case management services is our primary focus and, consequently, we will serve as support for our diverse population and integration into our community.
