During this challenging time when many may be experiencing feelings of anxiousness, loneliness, or helplessness as we shelter in place, the AVCS staff and clinicians care, and are here for you. Telehealth counseling services are now available and enable AVCS to better support our clients and community.
Studies have shown that telehealth can be as effective as in-person therapy, and it is definitely a safer method at this time. As well, those who have participated in telehealth have often found it more convenient and find they have to cancel their sessions less often. Please give us a call to learn how we can help.

Services
Almaden Valley Counseling Service (AVCS) is a Santa Clara County nonprofit agency with an emphasis on serving youth and families in our school-based counseling services (Counselor on Campus Program - COC). Additionally, we offer a sliding fee scale where we see children, adolescents, adults, couples and families with a broad range of presenting issues.
The Almaden Valley Youth Counseling Service (AVYCS) was founded in 1980 based on a community concern that adequate counseling services were not available for youth of the community. This was in large part due to the withdrawal of school counselors on school campuses due to Proposition 13 but the final impetus was two tragic teen suicides.
Short and long-term counseling for children, adolescents, individual adults, couples and families. Fees are based on a sliding scale and are determined by income. Counselors conduct outreach and intervention on school campuses, providing regularly scheduled and emergency services to 38 South San Jose schools.
Almaden Valley Counseling Service is proud to offer groups through our counseling clinic services. We encourage you to call if you are interested in a specific topic, even if it's not currently posted here. We may be able to offer it in the future. We routinely have groups forming on a variety of topics and we can put you on a waiting list.
The AVCS associateship program offers trainees or registered associates the opportunity to accrue required hours to become Marriage and Family Therapists, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors and Licensed Social Workers, to provide services to both agency clients (children/teens/individual adults/couples/families) and on-site at local schools (elementary/middle/high school) in our Counselor on Campus (COC) program.
