Mental Health Counseling

Without resources to help them access affordable housing, vocational training, family support, and psychological treatment, those who suffer from mental illness are at much greater risk of becoming homeless.  Likewise, the stress of being homeless can heighten a mental disorder.  It can be a vicious cycle, but St. Francis House strives to intervene.  Many of the mentally ill homeless want to make positive changes in their lives, and we invest in building the stable, trusting relationships that will allow them to do so.

A licensed clinical psychologist oversees our counseling program, and four licensed mental health professionals provide more than 7,250 treatment hours of mental health counseling per year.  Our counselors provide information about treatment options and resources, including medications, that guests can use to manage their conditions.  Three psychiatrists also provide regular onsite services.  Services are available in both English and Spanish.
