Catholic Charities counseling offers a variety
of services in four different community locations and in certain Catholic Schools throughout the diocese.  The counseling department uses a sliding fee schedule to serve all people regardless of their faith or their ability to pay.  Using the best counseling processes available, we work with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, family and adolescent issues.  We are committed to the Church's social teaching which emphasizes the dignity of the person and our responsibility to help our clients attain the highest degree of human worth and independence possible.  All of the counselors are Catholics in good standing, faithful to the teachings of Jesus Christ and have, at least, a Master's degree.

Grief Support Group

Have you or a loved one experienced a recent loss in your life?  Perhaps you are grieving a death, going through or recently been divorced, working through unemployment or finding your family size changing as your children grow.  Grief occurs throughout our lives as we encounter losses and sometimes it helps to share our feelings, as this strengthens the Body of Christ.
