YWCA Counseling Services strive to improve the emotional, mental, and behavioral wellness of our community. Located in downtown San José, we offer short- and long-term counseling and support services to clients of all ages; individuals, couples, or groups; married or not married; adult or child. Our counselors are Master's level marriage and family therapy and social work counselors, who work under the supervision of licensed therapists. They are trained to help with a broad range of issues including stress, family relations, trauma, premarital and couples' issues, depression, parental divorce, prenatal and post-partum changes, life transition, grief and loss, anxiety, and child behavior.

Counseling services are provided in a safe and confidential environment. Our services are offered on an income-based sliding-scale, with services available for as little as ten dollars per session. We also accept Victim Witness Compensation.

We also provide counselors on-campus at elementary, middle and high schools in the San Jose Unified and Campbell Union School Districts. The goal of our program is to provide prevention and early intervention for children and teens, thereby giving them the greatest opportunity to thrive and limiting the harmful impact of social, emotional, and mental struggles. With accessible, compassionate YWCA counselors available on school campuses, students have a safety net of professionals with whom to address their issues.
