The Hume Center’s comprehensive multicultural and multilingual continuum of care operates nine service departments out of two main, and three satellite, clinics as well as relevant on site services provided in the community and local schools. Our services are primarily performed in the Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, with some clinical services also available in the greater Bay Area.
We value professional and accessible services. Our clinicians are licensed in the state of California, and we have great pride in being able to provide services in multiple languages. We will do our best to accommodate your needs. Please let our staff know if your preferred language is not English, as we currently have staff and trainee fluency in: English, Arabic, Cantonese, Chinese, Dari, Farsi, French, German, Hindi, Mandarin, Portuguese, Punjabi, Spanish, Tamil, Urdu.
Our outpatient program aims to help our clients reduce or remove the psychological suffering they face every day. The program provides an individualized treatment plan to meet the unique needs of each client while incorporating and enhancing the larger support structures that support them throughout the majority of the week. Our trainees, who are supervised by highly trained and licensed clinical psychologists, collaboratively work toward lasting health and stability.
We provide psychotherapy to adults, adolescents and children, through cultural- and language-specific services, including:
Your therapist will work with you to assess what issues you are facing and how they are affecting your everyday life. You and your therapist will then collaboratively design treatment goals to address these issues and a treatment plan will be developed.
After assessing your specific needs, individual psychotherapy will probably be offered to support you toward your treatment goals. Your therapist will aim to create a safe place where the work you do each week in psychotherapy will enhance your life and shed new awareness and insights on questions you may have been asking yourself for a while.
Couples psychotherapy aims to provide a neutral space where you and your partner can work on your relationship together. Your therapist will support the two of you to find your path toward a relationship that enhances both of your lives and brings growth and new experiences to you both.
Families are systems, and sometimes the whole system needs to work together to work itself out of an issue. In family psychotherapy, your therapist will work to enable the whole family to find new ways to relate to each other and strengthen the family system.
Group psychotherapy can be a powerful support to the members of the group. Each session, you will have the opportunity to provide support to others and gain support from those same people. Offering support to others and accepting the difficulties they are facing can help you go a long way toward finding your own way through your own suffering. Call for information on our current groups being offered.
This program is staffed by licensed psychologists, psychiatric providers, a registered nurse, a case manager, and highly trained clinicians and trainees. The Hume Center is a recognized internship site and services are provided by trainees who are supervised by licensed clinicians.
The Hume Center, which was founded in 1993 in Concord, expaned to serve the East Contra Costa County area in 2001. We opened our clinic in 2001 to provide outpatient services to children and adults who wanted to pay on a sliding scale and those utilizing Medi-Cal, Medicare, and Medicare/Medi-Cal insurance.
We opened our Community Support Program East in 2014 in Pittsburg for adults 26 and older for adults with Medi-Cal Insurance diagnosed with severe mental illness in East County that are high utilizers of psychiatric emergency services, involved with the justice system, and/or are homeless or in danger of homelessness.
The programs moved to its current offices in Antioch as our Pittsburg office was no longer able to house our large staff.
Persons who are enrolled in our Community Support Program East that are reaady to graduate down from that intense level of services are stepped down to Antioch’s Outpatient Services, often with the same Primary Behavioral Health Cliniican overseeing their treatment plan and care.

Medi-Cal, Medicare, Medi-Medi, and some private health insurance with pre-authorization. We offer a Private Pay with Sliding Scale option with income verification.
