Integrated
financial counseling

If you have a client struggling with financial problems relating to a behavioral health condition or a major life event, we offer one-on-one financial counseling that can address those stressors. Unlike a referral, we work directly with your healthcare team to provide counseling services to your client in a one-on-one setting or one-on-two setting with your treatment provider.
