One Life Counseling Center

What One Life Counseling Center does

One Life Counseling Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 81-0919786) headquartered at 1303 San Carlos Ave in San Carlos, California, that delivers accessible mental health care, counseling, and therapeutic services to individuals, families, schools, and low-income communities across the region. Its service portfolio is organized into three categories: Counseling Services (individual, family, and group therapy), Clinical-Based Programs (Child-Parent Psychotherapy, School-Based Programs, Partner Programs), and Community-Based Programs (Una Vida, Music for the Mind, Monday Market, and Youth Development). The organization differentiates itself through culturally informed counselors embedded in school settings and a wraparound model that addresses social determinants of mental health alongside clinical care.

The business model is a nonprofit hybrid: clinical fees (likely sliding scale or insurance-reimbursed) for therapy services, supplemented by donations routed through secure.qgiv.com and grants supporting community programs such as Monday Market, which provides supplemental groceries to 150 families per week. The go-to-market motion is community-led rather than sales-led, relying on school partnerships as referral channels, website-based therapist matching, email newsletters, and community events to reach clients. Operating geographies are limited to California, with a headcount of 51–100 employees. Leadership includes Michelle Stulbarg as Chief Operations Officer and Director of Operations. The organization holds HIPAA and CCPA compliance posture but discloses no proprietary technology platform, AI capabilities, patents, or trademarks.
