Using an integrated community health approach, the Community Counseling Program (CCP) equips Marines and families with the skills to address life’s challenges before there is significant impact to performance in their duties and relationships. We offer non-medical counseling to Active Duty Service Members, Retirees, and their families which typically occurs over 8-12 sessions. All counselors are experienced working with service members and military families. They are licensed and credentialed to practice mental health counseling within the USMC.
There is no referral needed and services are free. Those seeking a routine appointment may call the front desk to schedule an appointment. If you feel your matter is urgent, you may walk-in and request to see a clinician for a safety assessment. Commands who are in need of a psychological first aid response team, following a death or tragedy, may contact our office.
Our counselors will listen to your concerns, assess your needs and work with you to develop goals for your counseling sessions. Counseling can increase self-confidence, improve family communication, improve your well-being and overall mission readiness. Our team members are subject matter experts and can offer counseling designed to meet your specific needs.
