Our Story
The Counseling & Education Center began in 1981 as the Center for Enriched Communications—a vision brought to life by Sisters Faye Huelsmann and Pat Lewter, Sisters of St. Joseph of Concordia, Kansas. The sisters had one objective: to provide counseling to individuals and families, regardless of income or their ability to pay--and the CEC has been doing so ever since. CEC has grown from the two sisters to a staff of 14 counselors and administrative staff, and our professional counselors provide services to more than 400 clients per year.
