From our rather small beginnings in 1959, as a largely volunteer-operated mental health clinic, Central Wyoming Counseling Center (CWCC) has grown to offer a wide variety of specialized programs and services. With CWCC’s team of mental health and substance abuse treatment professionals, that include nurses, psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, peer specialists and support staff, the center operates three major programs consisting of Outpatient Services, Residential Services, and Recovery Support Services.
The staff at CWCC are trained, qualified and licensed professionals who are here to help you and your loved ones with comprehensive behavioral healthcare. Studies have shown that the majority of people who receive mental health treatment experience symptom relief and a better quality of life. If you or someone you love is looking for behavioral health support, HOPE is here.
