Youth & Family Counseling

At Youth & Family Counseling (YFC), we believe everyone should have access to mental health counseling when they need it. Opening doors to mental healthcare so people can cope, heal and thrive is our mission. YFC is a community-based outpatient counseling center. Our licensed therapists work with children, teens and adults on a wide range of mental health concerns including: depression, anxiety, grief and loss, abuse, neglect, trauma, low self-esteem, social adjustment issues, difficult life transitions, relationship problems, LGBTQ issues, bullying, ADHD, and more. As a nonprofit organization, YFC depends on community support to fund our need-based fee subsidies, which allow us to serve low-income, under-insured families, as well as those who are well-insured. We are proud of our co-locations with service providers in under-served parts of Lake County (Illinois), and we are grateful to our funding partners for making this work possible. Together, we are improving access to mental health services in our community.
