The Refuge Center’s mission was clear from the beginning—to offer affordable, professional counseling services in order to empower, educate and support individuals, couples and families in need. Amy and Jennifer had discovered that there were few opportunities for affordable counseling in the area, as many local therapists charge $90 – $175+ per session. They wanted to offer therapy to those who could not afford those fees, so they created a sliding-scale fee structure that ranges from $25 – $120 per session and is based on each individual’s income level.

Open Paths mission is to meet the evolving health care needs of the community through quality counseling for individuals and families at affordable fees; free therapy programs for at-risk children and youth in local schools; and a highly-regarded therapist training program. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open Paths Counseling Center has a forty year history of providing quality, affordable, psychotherapy to Los Angeles residents who would otherwise lack mental health care due to lack of affordability, cultural sensitive, proximity or other barriers. Typical clients struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, and/or trauma, much of which is exacerbated by living in poverty or with other types of societal marginalization. Open Paths has evolved as one of the most diverse counseling centers in Los Angeles. We recognize the importance of diversity as central to our mission of “meeting the evolving mental health needs of the community…” and understand how important providing culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed psychotherapy is for our clients. Recognizing the inherent benefits of diversity, Open Paths’ board of directors, leadership team, and clinical staff are as culturally diverse as our clientele. This is deliberate so that our clients can see their cultural experiences reflected back to them every week when they engage in psychotherapy with us.

The Holy Trinity Neighborhood Center (HTNC) continues a proud tradition that began in 1899 when the Church of the Holy Trinity (CHT) on East 88th Street was built by New York City philanthropist Serena Rhinelander. Founded as a mission parish, the church sought to serve a local population made of mostly immigrants with a variety of programs that have been adapted over the years to meet the changing needs of our community. Holy Trinity Neighborhood Center was established as a 501(c)3 organization in the 1980s specifically to respond to the large number of homeless and impoverished people whose needs were clearly not being met by governmental or charitible organizations -- and who reflected the larger crisis of poverty in the city as a whole. HTNC provided an opportunity for those interested in supporting our work, but not of our faith, to join in helping us help others. However, HTNC and its programs were always envisioned as an integral part of the Church of the Holy Trinity and an arm of its mission, and its bylaws require that three members of the HTNC board must be members of the church’s vestry. HTNC currently has four core programs: a nightly shelter for 10-12 men who come to us as a part of the Emergency Shelter Network; a Senior Lunch on Tuesdays; a Neighborhood Supper on Saturdays; and a Thanksgiving Dinner delivered to the homebound. These programs viewed holistically are our parish’s response to the continuing acute needs of our neighborhood's elderly, hungry and homeless population(s).
