Caring for Those Who Care
Licensed Counseling
Through counseling and psychotherapy, it is possible to experience a sense of hope, freedom from suffering, and a greater sense of control in your life again.
As caregivers, we to often neglect our own health and wellbeing.
Whether you are emotionally and physically exhausted from caring for a loved one, lost or afraid about your future, or overwhelmed by your family obligations, there is no shame in seeking out the support you need.
Let us meet you where you are
Virtual | In-Home | In-Office Counseling Available
We recognize it can be hard to visit an office, especially for caregivers or those with a medical condition. Our counselors offer flexibility by meeting you where you are, whether that’s your home, the hospital, or senior living community.
Your counselor is also available for virtual face-to-face meetings, providing the convenience of connecting through your computer screen. Many clients have shared their positive experiences, expressing surprise at the depth of intimacy achieved through this counseling method.

What Our Clients Say
I’ve been going to Family First for counseling for over two years. They’ve helped me understand and find the real ‘me.’
Family First helped us move my mother to a facility. They were there for all the paperwork and move-in. They even stopped in at the facility numerous times to visit with mom and make sure she was settling in.
My dad really respects and loves the conversations he has with his CarePro. Hearing about the adventures they give our dad makes my day every time!
Numerous times I have seen [Family First] step into a situation that was heading in a bad direction and completely change the trajectory, ultimately finding the perfect solution.
