History
Over 35 years ago, Patricia Cooper and Jaclyn Henretig were determined to provide a space where all members of the Santa Barbara community could access quality mental health services, regardless of income. With generous support from clients who had experienced healing through the work of these gifted and caring therapists, Community Counseling and Education Center was born. Today, CCEC serves as one of the area's most well-respected training centers for graduate students and associate therapists who want to learn the art of process therapy. Under the guidance, training, and direction of Director Mariela Marin, and supervisors Kennedy, Pallero, Richo, and Van Koppen, trainees and associates in CCEC's Clinical Training Program are positioned to meet a community's deep need.
