Visit Our Website
El Centro de Amistad (ECDA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the emotional well-being and quality of life for individuals and families throughout the San Fernando Valley. Our unique purpose is to provide culturally responsive, free mental health services and family support that empower people to heal, grow, and thrive, especially those facing economic hardship, trauma, or systematic barriers to care.
We serve children, youth, adults, and families from diverse backgrounds, with a strong focus on low-income communities. Through a comprehensive range of programs, including individual and group therapy, case management, diverse free workshops, academic tutoring, and crisis intervention, we help clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, and access critical resources.
ECDA stands apart through its deep community roots, bilingual staff, trauma-informed approach, and commitment to reducing stigma around mental health. By meeting people where they are and walking alongside them in their journey, we create lasting change, one family at a time.
