I’m so grateful to have celebrated the holidays with the best team anyone can ask for. When I started COPE in 2020, I never imagined we would grow to have such an amazing community of smart, talented, and diverse group of clinicians. With nearly 15 of us including psychologists, psychiatrists, post-doctoral fellows, pre-doctoral externs spread across 4 locations plus virtual, it can be hard for all of us to be in the same room in person, but we were able to nearly accomplish it - minus a few key people missing.
2024 was a big year. We increased our in person services to 4 locations, created more group options, including a Men’s Process Group, added a child psychologist, and added 2 psychiatrists as well as multiple therapists of all training levels that allow us to offer sliding scale as low as $40/session. Collectively, these improvements are manifestations of our collective passion to create a mental health space that is both high quality, accessible to a variety of people, and holistic. Although there is more work to be done and more plans to increase accessibility in the coming year, I’m hopeful that we’re on the right path and grateful to continue serving the community in the way we do.
As for 2025, we are looking forward to creating a women’s process group at the top of the year, expand our sliding scale fees across all 4 sites in LA, and increase our child psychology services at our West Los Angeles office.
I appreciate all of your support and sharing of this passion and look forward to helping serve you and the community for years to come.
With an immense amount of gratitude, happy holidays!
