Additional Information:

The Wellness Project

Are you uninsured or unable to afford mental health care? Do you need therapy or counseling?

The Wellness Project is the only free mental health clinic providing services to uninsured or underinsured adults in Clark County.

Counseling services offered at The Wellness Project are provided by volunteers who are either licensed or registered with the State of Washington. Counseling is also provided by master’s-level student s under the direct supervision of CSNW staff and other community mental health professionals.

Our dedicated team of counselors volunteer their services, often after a full day of regular counseling practice. Their dedication is the primary reason we remain a free mental health clinic.

How Do I Access Your Services?

To apply for services at The Wellness Project, just drop by our office during business hours and fill out an application.

How Can I Help?

To volunteer as a counselor, call the office at 360-514-1722 and ask to speak with the Volunteer Coordinator.

How Much Will It Cost?

There is no charge for services offered at The Wellness Project. We ask that you consider a donation of $5 or more per visit, but you won’t be refused services if you are unable to pay. Donations help us meet the expenses of The Wellness Project such as rent, telephones, supplies, printing and other operating costs.

Counseling and classes are available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays every week except during regular holidays.
Tuesday 9:00 am—7:00 pm
