About All Desert Mental Health
All Desert Mental Health (ADMH) functions under the parent organization, All-Desert Wellness Centers (ADWC). We are a 100% volunteer, not-for-profit organization founded in 2008 to serve the mental health needs of the Coachella Valley community and those in the outlying desert areas. Our specific purpose is to provide mental and behavioral health services focusing on individual, children, adolescents, couples, seniors, and families. When we founded ADWC we identified a need for counseling and therapy services that are affordable (based on a sliding scale) to anyone seeking such services.
Our aim at ADMH is to empower individuals and families to build and maintain healthy lives that enable them to cultivate better relationships and pursue meaningful work/education and leisure activities. Our hope is that we can join with you on your journey, whatever that is, to discover empowerment so that you cultivate hope in yourself, experience growth and change, and eventually thrive!
Additionally, we aim to strengthen the community and its individuals, contributing to better well-being and healthy lifestyles now and throughout their lives. ADMH does this by providing evaluation, assessment, treatment planning, clinical intervention, and feedback by means of our team which includes the individual client and his/her family when appropriate. We also have programs which work in concert with adjunct services, facilitated by licensed and certified professionals in their respective fields.
