Centus is a top-tier provider of behavioral health services, education, and programs.

We take pride in integrating every client’s questions and concerns about their physical, behavioral, and spiritual self.  We are champions of hopeful and healthy living.

Clients are served in office and community settings, as well as via tele-behavioral healthcare sessions. For every counseling session, funds need to be raised through events, grants, and from many individual donors to cover the actual cost of counseling.

Centus partners with Metro Denver area businesses, schools, churches, and human service organizations to provide a wide range of Psycho-Educational offerings. We are also available as a resource to our community partners when they are seeking information or consultation around individuals or families dealing with mental health or addiction related concerns.

Who helps make this happen

Centus Counseling receives funds from individual donors, numerous local foundations, and hosts 2 events annually to support the full cost of providing high quality, accessible, holistic behavioral healthcare.  These services are provided in local schools, as well as in community-based and virtual settings.

 

Through grant funding we have been able to expand our Community Psycho–Educational Services and have also developed a Residency Program to provide expanded care for under-served and under-resourced communities.

 

Clinical outcome measurement in both the Centus Outpatient program and the services offered through Susan’s School Counseling: A Centus Program provide empirical evidence that both programs have impactful, effective results in line with best practice national norms for outcomes in quality behavioral healthcare treatment.

 

During 2022-23 the average collected fee was $112 and the average cost to provide a session was $125.50 leaving a gap of $ 13.50 for each of our 20,953 sessions.

 

Fourteen local congregations and seven schools supported us in 2022-23 by offering office space at no cost to Centus. This represents approximately $5000 per site each year as an in-kind donation.
