Finding a Counselor

Families are encouraged to select counselors who can offer the best support for their specific needs. We also provide a referral database of licensed professionals who specialize in family counseling. This database includes:
  • Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT)
  • Licensed Professional Counselors (LPC)
  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW)
  • Christian Counselors with appropriate licensing and training

Compensation for Services

To ensure accessibility and quality of care, we compensate counselors at a rate of $200 per session. This allows families to access experienced professionals who can provide the necessary support and guidance.

Impact on Families

Imagine a family struggling with communication issues, where the parents feel overwhelmed, and the children feel misunderstood. With our counseling grants, this family can access professional help to navigate their challenges. Through guided sessions, they learn effective communication skills, build stronger bonds, and create a supportive home environment. The positive changes extend beyond the family, influencing every aspect of their lives.
