About WACCC

Dr. Mario M. Ugarte

WACCC was originally founded over 20 years ago by Dr. Ugarte in the hope of providing affordable mental health services to the residents of Huntington Park and the surrounding communities. Dr. Ugarte believed that all people deserve to live fulfilling lives and are the creators of their own destiny.

Over 20 years later, we continue to support all of our clients as they strive to reach their personal goals. We provide mental health services to lower and middle income households because we truly believe that mental health services should be accessible to everyone who need them. Each one of our clients comes to us with unique challenges and stories - true change can happen when we help them recognize their strengths and provide them with the tools they need to improve their lives and the lives of those around them.

Our Philosophy

AT WACCC we listen to our client's concerns, respect preferences, empower families and encourage clients to take charge of their direction of their life. We take a systemic approach to helping individuals and families .

Our Vision

At WACCC we strive to provide respectful treatment to people of every background, experience, and culture. No matter how small or big of a step someone is taking, we support them by providing a welcoming atmosphere.
