Our History

We opened our doors as The Anger Managers, founded by Jessica Echeverri, a counselor and former Child and Youth Worker. Jessica saw the gaps in traditional counseling; long waitlists, high fees, and judgmental settings. She believed there had to be a better way, so she created one.

As more people came to us, we expanded our services to meet their needs. We added Domestic Violence Intervention (PAR alternatives), Parenting Support, and Addictions Programs, all designed to be practical, accessible, and focused on each individual’s journey.

By this time, we had earned the trust of courts, probation officers, attorneys, and legal professionals across Canada. Our reputation was built on accountability, professionalism, and care always delivered with a human-first approach that never loses sight of the person behind the case.

The need for compassionate, court-approved counseling extended beyond Canada. In response, we expanded our services into the United States, continuing to provide accessible, trauma-aware care to clients across borders, guided by the same principles.

As we grew, so did our mission. To better reflect the wide range of services we offer and our commitment to mental health and court support, we rebranded as Court Counseling Institute. Our name changed, but our dedication to care, respect, and real healing remained the same.

Now serving clients throughout Canada and the U.S., we remain true to our roots: providing support that’s accessible, compassionate, and effective. Whether you’re here by court order, referral, or personal choice, know that we’re here to support you every step of the way.
