About NCCC

Founded in 1999 as a support group for victims of domestic violence, the non-profit Newport Community Counseling Center (NCCC) in Newport Beach has become a full-service agency that has served over 13,000 clients from throughout Orange County, including 1,150 in 2008.

Originally established as a part of the Health Ministries Outreach of St. Mark Presbyterian Church, NCCC now has its own 501 (c) (3) non-profit designation (Tax ID #20-2108327). NCCC welcomes people of all ages, cultural backgrounds, lifestyles and religious affiliations.

Our clients may be self-referred, or referred by other area non-profit agencies, therapists, schools, churches, city community service programs, and the Orange County court system.

Fees are determined by a sliding scale based on the client’s annual income. We are one of the few local agencies offering such payment flexibility, making individual counseling services accessible to those without insurance.

NCCC is guided by Executive Director Linda Belt, LCSW, BCD, who has over 25 years of private practice, hospital, university, and non-profit agency experience. She received a master’s degree in social work from the University of Southern California, and is a board certified diplomat.
