About Us

Positive Change is Possible!

CMPCA is a Private Practice Counseling Agency and Employee Assistance Program (EAP).

Our goal is to provide quality services to our companies and our clients. We provide service to individuals, couples, and families for a variety of issues. Our sessions generally last 50 minutes.

CMPCA counselors adhere to a client-centered approach to counseling, however we are also strongly influenced by cognitive-behavioral therapy, systems theory, and a variety of other approaches as they are appropriate for use with our clients. We at CMPCA strive to create a comfortable, therapeutic environment where a safe, collaborative relationship between client and counselor can be established. The partnership between counselor and client facilitates the ability to examine issues, set goals, and work together to achieve those goals. We believe positive change or outcomes are possible and that you can possess untapped, inner resources to help you directly deal with your concerns and problems. Counselors do not have the ability to fix your problems; that power belongs to you. For counseling to be effective, you must make a commitment of time and energy and be an active participant in the process. Your involvement both during and between sessions will be required. Homework may involve reading, writing exercises, or practicing new skills and behaviors.

CMPCA is also a teaching facility, in that part or all of your counseling experience may be conducted with a master-level counseling intern. Our interns bring fresh ideas and new approaches to the counseling process, which we find invaluable. Interns have already completed many hours of supervised therapy, and they continue to receive close supervision and consultation from our full-time licensed counselors. You are free to contact that intern’s supervisor if you have any questions or concerns regarding your experience.
