YOUTH AND FAMILY COUNSELING

Helping individuals and families cope, heal, and thrive since 1962.

At YFC, we believe that finding the right therapist to fit your needs is key. That is why our combined therapist team has expertise in several specialties to help with most mental health needs. At YFC, our clinicians all adhere to a systemic model of treatment.

Our therapists are not only here to provide you with support, but also provide you with the direction and tools to help you reach your goals. Read some of our latest testimonials:

My son has had two therapists at YFC, and they both have been great! Both are kind, compassionate, and relatable. He has been using his tools, and things have improved.

The therapy has helped me become more grounded in dealing with personal matters within our family. And the weekly sessions tend to offer suggestions on making self-improvements.

First it was lifesaving. Now it’s life-expanding.

Our therapist’s approach is thoughtful and encouraging but always focused on the goal to address both short term and longer-term goals in order to effectively address/resolve issues.

“Coming to the decision to seek out therapy was one of the hardest decisions I’ve made. Working with my YFC therapist has proven to be the best thing I could have done for myself… and my family.”

Working with one of our licensed counselors can help you develop coping skills to handle life’s challenges, adapt to new circumstances, evaluate options, and feel supported.
