About Ness Counseling Center Los Angeles

Ness Counseling Center is a nonprofit outpatient treatment center in Los Angeles, California that treats residents of Los Angeles and neighboring communities. Its services include assessments for court orders and employer mandates.

Telehealth Groups and Communication Work

All groups and individual sessions at Ness can be attended through telehealth. You can complete your appointments without going to the center which is convenient for parents who are attending children, those without transportation or in remote locations, and those who have difficulty scheduling appointments around job schedules.

Group therapy brings together clients who are facing similar concerns such as anger, anxiety or relationship problems. The center also works with couples on communication and helps family members examine patterns they want to change.

Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs

Ness’s Drug and Alcohol Educational Counseling services use cognitive restructuring which examines thought patterns and behavioral modification which focuses on changing actions.

The center also offers intensive outpatient treatment and PHP with PHP providing a highly structured alternative to inpatient treatment but is more intense than other forms of outpatient care. A clinical and medical assessment may lead to a PHP or IOP recommendation.

Ness has served Los Angeles communities since 1996. The center accepts PPO insurance and provides low-fee services.
