ServiceNet Clinics to Join River Valley Counseling Center Feb. 1

HOLYOKE — Two of the leading non-profit community mental health care providers in Western Mass. will be taking the next step in making a good thing even better, when ServiceNet’s outpatient clinics become part of River Valley Counseling Center (RVCC) on Feb. 1. 

“Since July 1, 2025, RVCC has been operating under the ServiceNet umbrella of services,” explained Dr. Elaine Campbell, ServiceNet’s Senior Vice President of Clinical Services, who previously served as assistant executive director of RVCC.  “By combining ServiceNet’s clinical operations with RVCC’s, we can offer more services to more people living throughout our communities, build on each other’s strengths and expertise, share resources more effectively, and further develop our areas of clinical excellence.

“This is also a move that is good for the therapists who work in our outpatient clinics and schools,” she added. “It provides more flexibility and opportunities for growth, and more colleagues with whom to share our ideas and experience.”

RVCC’s outpatient clinics serve people across Western Mass., with a strong commitment to community-based care and access to bilingual services. With the addition of ServiceNet’s clinics to the mix, they now have a unified system of offices in Greenfield, Northampton, Amherst, and Pittsfield, as well as Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke, Westfield, and Easthampton. Working with people of all ages to address concerns such as depression, anxiety, OCD, hoarding, substance use, gambling, relationship challenges, and major life changes, RVCC’s team of therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, and support staff recognize that the most meaningful progress happens when people are truly partners in their own treatment.

ServiceNet and RVCC chose to affiliate last year in response the growing mental health care needs of the populations each was serving and where they saw that trend going over time.

“We already knew each other well,” said ServiceNet President and CEO Bruno Calouro, who is now CEO of RVCC, as well. “And through our transition process over the past several months, we have learned even more about how we can best share our knowledge and support as well as our values. In bringing our clinics together, we will help to assure even greater stability for these vital services our communities rely on.”
