Serving at the Center for 21, 18, and 41 years respectively, we are grateful for the 80 years of combined expertise that our Clinical Directors provide. We appreciate their direction and guidance for the organization and know that they are impacting future generations through the training and mentorship that they impart to the clinicians and counselors on their teams.


The National Women's History Alliance (NWHA) has announced the 2026 Women's History Month theme as "Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future". This theme honors women who are rebuilding systems for long-term sustainability in expansive categories that include social justice, education, and leadership.


The Center has been moving lives forward for 56 years and we are delighted to have our Clinical Directors as our leaders in psychology!

Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.
