Family Counseling/Behavioral Health

Catholic Charities’ Family Counseling/Behavioral Health Program provides high quality counseling and community education from a family systems perspective, empowering and assisting individuals, couples, and families to successfully resolve their life concerns and relationship issues.

Counseling is available to all individuals, couples, and families regardless of their race, religion, or economic situation.

Our Approach

Catholic Charities therapists view problems in the context of their individual relationships and their larger social networks such as: work, school, church, and friendships. We believe that one individual’s problems affect other family members and that the participation of other family members can be extremely helpful in solving these problems. A defining characteristic of our approach is identifying and building upon client strengths, which help clients resolve problems and repair relationships.

Fees

Our sliding fee scale is based on income and the number of dependents. No one is denied needed services based on their inability to pay. In addition, many needs are covered by health insurance.
