Since its inception in the early 1970s, CJE has been at the forefront of providing counseling services to older adults, their family members and caregivers.
CJE Counseling Services is staffed by a team of highly-skilled Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) who are specialists in the field of mental health services for seniors.
Services are available as home or office visits.
