Welcome to the CHL Website!
CHL stands for Company for Healthy Living. Our mission evolved out of work done previously at Catholic Charities – San Jose. Because it serves the public benefit, CHL was incorporated as a charitable organization and is exempt from income taxes under Sections 501(c)(3) (IRS) and 23701d (California). Contributions to CHL are deductible under Section 170 of the IRS tax code.
Our Mission
At CHL we offer affordable therapy to individuals, couples, and families in the San Jose / South Bay area. "Affordable" means that we employ a sliding scale -- our fees are adjusted according to your ability to pay as set by your level of income and size of family. This is part of the CHL philosophy: health is too important to restrict access to it.
Company Profile Brochure
CHL is staffed by psychologists, each with a doctoral degree and California license. We practice independently and we each have our own style of working. We are adaptable, adjusting the style of therapy to the needs of the client and stage of the process. Some of us work mainly from a psychodynamic or humanistic orientation whereas others offer a more structured, cognitively- or behaviorally-oriented approach.
We see most clients in a one-on-one format, but also work with couples, families, and groups and serve in crisis intervention. Our clients include a variety of ethnicities and ages, including some children. Psychotherapy can help with a variety of issues, for example:
- life transitions
- depression and anxiety
- trauma, abuse, and abandonment
- spiritual expression and personal growth
- relationship problems in marriage, family, or at work
We care about our clients deeply. If you are experiencing difficulties in life perhaps we can help.
