Community Counseling Center was founded in 1968 by five local ministers who saw a need in the community for affordable counseling. It soon became a 501(c)(3) non-profit and has been a leader in mental health services ever since. It created Hotline in 1970 and operated Warmline (a parenting advice line) from 1978 to 1996.

Community Counseling Center (CCC) is a non-profit, 501 (c)(3) organization that has been serving San Luis Obispo County since 1968. The agency is grant funded by the United Way, the County of San Luis Obispo, the City of San Luis, the State of California Mental Health Services Act (MHSA), the San Luis Obispo County Community Foundation, and Central Coast Funds for Children.
There has been a tremendous loss in our CCC sphere with the recent passing of former Board President, Christina "Tina" Bailey. Tina's contributions to the CCC mission, vision, and values run wide and deep. She joined the Board of Directors in 2016 soon after her retirement from Cal Poly as Chemistry Department Chair and was brought aboard by her neighbor and CCC legend, Al Amaral.
