Community Psychiatric Clinic

Community Psychiatric Clinic offers a complete range of behavioral health services to meet the needs of individuals and families affected by mental illness and/or chemical dependency in Seattle and King County. We enhance the quality of life of our clients by delivering a full continuum of high quality, evidence informed, community-based behavioral healthcare services. We strive to assure access for all in our community who seek our care. For over sixty years, Community Psychiatric Clinic has helped thousands cope successfully with everything from serious mental illness to the ordinary stresses and challenges of everyday life. Established in 1952, CPC was founded on the belief that psychiatric care should be available to persons regardless of their ability to pay. Before long, CPC recognized that mentally ill persons could not receive the benefit of their treatment without having the security of basic shelter. Today, CPC is one of the largest non-profit behavioral healthcare organizations in King County, and owns, manages or operates the largest inventory of specialized housing for the mentally ill in the state.

Community Psychiatric Clinic (CPC) specializes in providing services that help foster stable community living for persons with chronic mental illness and/or chemical dependency. Our experienced, professional clinical staff includes psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, registered mental health and chemical dependency counselors, child and family therapists, housing and vocational support specialists, and case managers. CPC staff members work from multiple CPC sites and locations in the community including local businesses, schools, hospitals, and jails. Most CPC clients have chronic mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, bipolar affective disorder, or major depression which often results in little or no income, joblessness, incarceration, hospitalization or homelessness. CPC is well known and respected in the community for providing integrated treatment for persons with co-occurring disorders of mental illness and chemical dependency. CPC is also nationally recognized as a leader in developing and providing safe, affordable housing for persons with mental illness.
