Future Partner Schools

CPLA believes that every student can benefit from counseling and support services. We know that in many schools faculty and administration spend considerable time supporting students and their families when there are not counselors on staff. We would be honored to bring our affordable program to additional schools. If you would like to hear more about our work and how we can help you support your students, please contact us at (310) 459-2752. 

“We are always confident that every counseling need, from day to day sessions to crisis emergencies will be handled promptly, efficiently, and professionally. Truthfully we would often be lost without the assistance of Counseling Partners of Los Angeles.”​

- Terry Catlin, Director of Counseling at Cathedral High School
