Explore Counseling Group is a nonprofit — not a big company or insurance machine. Just a group of real people here to offer real support.

We work with individuals, couples, kids, and families across California. And we take our time — to listen, to understand, to help you feel safe being honest.

Why "Explore"?

We offer mental health and counseling services for individuals, couples, children, and families, to improve community health and well-being.

We believe healing starts with exploring what’s going on inside — not with judgment, but with compassion. Our name reflects our belief in the power of curiosity, openness, and honoring each person’s unique process. You don’t need to have the answers. You just need a safe place to ask the questions — and the courage to speak them out loud.

  • Trauma-informed
  • Client-centered
  • Holistic (where appropriate)
  • Collaborative and culturally humble
  • Flexible — no one-size-fits-all timelines for healing
