Our mission is to uplift and advocate for youth through a variety of therapeutic programs and services. Our qualified therapists lead group sessions that focus on emotional well-being, while our Medicaid Targeted Case Management connects individuals with necessary resources.

Our Home Again Program supports elderly citizens transitioning back to their communities from healthcare facilities. At COHYA, we are committed to fostering hope and resilience in every individual we serve.

We Believe in the Power of a Holistic Approach to Mental Health and Emotional Wellness.


At the Heart of Healing

“At the heart of healing is wholeness.
A holistic approach to counseling honors the mind, body, and spirit, recognizing that lasting change begins when every part of a person is seen, heard, and   supported.”

"PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND"
