Counseling
Giving hope and healing lives.
All JFS programs offer individualized support. When group settings are not appropriate, professional, licensed social workers and therapists provide individual counseling for children, families, and adults. In-home counseling is available for homebound seniors.
Counseling for Children and Families
JFS provides counseling and consultation for children ages 2 to 18 who are struggling with behavioral problems that interfere with successful social and/or academic development.
