ABOUT CONSEJO COUNSELING AND REFERRAL SERVICE

In 1978, Consejo was born out of a visionary work-study project directed by Dr. Gilberto Lucero, a professor at the UW School of Social Work, in which two latino master level students participated. They identified a critical need for behavioral health services within the Latino community in Seattle, Washington. At that time, there were no Latino-based behavioral health care organizations in WA State. Consejo became a pioneer in establishing the first bilingual and bicultural care organization dedicated to serve the Spanish speaking monolingual community. The mission was to improve mental health care access and break down cultural stigmas. Over four decades later, we continue to lead the way in providing culturally and linguistically competent behavioral health services to the Latinx community, empowering and transforming the lives of our clients.
