Overview

Mission

Rose City Center is devoted to improving our community by offering affordable, high-quality psychotherapy throughout California while providing psychoanalytic training for our clinicians.

What it reported doing in 2024

Rose City Center programs include a Clinical Training Program for pre-doctoral and postdoctoral psychology students; an in-person and online psychology Clinic for low-mid income adolescents, adults and couples; a Life Emergency Assistance Fund for clients unable to pay the minimum sliding scale fee; and a Continuing Education Program for psychologists and psychology students.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
