The vast majority of our clients have suffered severe trauma and struggle to secure health care due to income, insurance, and language barriers. This service is offered in an individual, couples, or family Counseling format. We treat an average of 300 clients each week through this service and our clients come from 16 of the 21 nj counties.

Seniors:main st. Counseling continues to emphasize the care of older adults, both at our west orange facility and through various outreach partnerships. With seniors, our work focuses on education and group support. Our services help seniors contend with inactivity during the day and the impacts of social isolation as family members move away. With a handicap-accessible building equipped with its own elevator, our facility is easy and safe to navigate for all seniors.

School-based counseling:our longstanding school-based Counseling program continues to be our flagship outreach program. By partnering with local schools, we are able to provide over 200 additional at-risk students with crucial mental health services and mentoring each week. Our counselors primarily focus on social skills development and support. This on-site program features both individual and group work, in addition to informative workshops held for parents, teachers, and principals. By providing kids with an important outlet and support system, they are able to better focus on their academics and limit destructive behaviors.
