Valley Cities Counseling and Consultation is expanding its site in Renton.

The current office, located at 221 Wells Ave. S., provides limited psychological and psychiatric assistance, but is now being expanded to provide counselors, psychiatrists, peer support and employment services.

“We’re also hoping to get involved with the community, hear what the community needs. It’s not just ‘come here’ but also about getting people connected with other resources,” said site director Alaina Goodman.

In addition to the additional counselors, psychiatrists, peer support groups and employment services, the company provides care coordinators who specialize in finding outside help for Valley Cities clients who need healthcare solutions as well as psychiatric cases.

“We’re definitely acknowledging that health care and mental health go hand in hand,” Goodman said.

The office will also provide help signing clients up for medicaid or other health plans through the Affordable Care Act’s health-care exchange.

The Renton office will host a community open house from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7.

They have other offices in Federal Way, Auburn and Kent.
