Services
The Living Success Center's mission is to meet the mental health needs of our community, based on individual social or economic status, by providing quality, comprehensive mental health services with respect, compassion, and acceptance of cultural and linguistic diversity. We strive to primarily assist those who have limited or no access to mental health services.
In 1994, two therapists, Marianna Thomas, MFT and Cecile Dillon, PhD, met over coffee and discovered they shared a mutual goal-to create a counseling center for those who could not otherwise afford therapy.
Though they each tried to see as many clients as they could on a pro bono basis in their own practices, there was a limit to how much they could do., Marianna and Cecile, using the prior work of another therapist, took the name Living Success Center, obtained non-profit status from the IRS, and expanded its services, not only making Living Success Center a training site for graduate students but the leading affordable fee counseling center in Orange County.

Report
I tried on numerous occasions to reach out to this clinic for help with severe grief and depression. All I wanted was to see a therapist to help me through this difficult time in my life, but apparently I wasn't worth their time, effort or just a simple return phone call. I spoke to two separate people on two separate occasions, both doing an intake assessment and assuring me I would receive a phone call back shortly to arrange time with a counselor. It's such a shame that their staff doesn't seem to care about the mental welfare of the people reaching out for services. This organization definitely
