COUNSELING PARTNERS OF LOS ANGELES

Counseling Partners of Los Angeles (CPLA) is a Los Angeles–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit, founded in 2012, that places trained clinicians in school settings to provide low-cost, school-based individual counseling, classroom presentations, teacher professional development, and parent counseling. CPLA partners primarily with Catholic schools across Los Angeles County (it serves students in Catholic schools but is not a faith-based program) and trains masters-level MFT/LPCC clinicians through an in-school traineeship model.

In the past 2–3 years CPLA has grown its partner network and program offerings: the organization publicly lists 56 partner schools for the 2025–2026 year and notes plans for 58 partner schools for 2026–2027; it also expanded parent-counseling services and continues regular recruitments/training cycles for new counselor cohorts. Counseling is delivered in-person on campus, with clinical supervision and structured training for volunteer and trainee counselors, and the organization publishes client-focused “Stories of Hope” and partner testimonials illustrating impact.

The EIN 46-0864937 has been verified against nonprofit filings and public nonprofit records as belonging to Counseling Partners of Los Angeles; the organization has maintained tax-exempt 501(c)(3) status since 2014 and files annual Form 990s. Recent filings show sustained operating activity (FY 2024 reported revenues and positive net assets), reflecting continued donor and foundation support for its school-based mental health programs.
