New Orchard Mesa Location Coming Fall 2024

CEC’s second location will bring much needed professional, affordable, and accessible mental health counseling to Orchard Mesa.

Donate today and help us make mental health counseling more accessible

Through the purchase and renovation of a beautiful historic building 2702 B 1/2 Road, CEC will be able to better meet the growing behavioral health needs of our community. Our second location will enable CEC to provide an additional 300 clients with 3,000 hours of counseling annually by 2026–a doubling of our current services. We will also be able to expand our no-cost internship program for counseling and social work students looking to enter the behavioral health profession, from 4 interns annually to 10.

This new location will offer many community benefits:

  • 10 trauma-informed therapy rooms, including 2 play therapy rooms for children
  • Increased physical capacity to serve more clients and host 6 additional counseling interns each year
  • Proximity to Dios Rios Elementary School, New Emerson School, Orchard Mesa Middle School, and Eagle View Learning Center
  • Located along the Grand Valley Transit route
  • Makes counseling more convenient for people living south of Grand Junction, in Whitewater and even Delta.
