Our Mission
The mission of the Center for Families and Relationships is to strengthen and build resiliency in families by providing individual, family and couples counseling utilizing a holistic approach to treatment. We are partners in parenting, empowering members of the family to make a permanent, positive change towards becoming productive members of their own family and of our community as a whole.
About Us
Center for Families and Relationships is a non-profit community mental health organization headquartered in Northeast Philadelphia. We specialize in understanding relationships and how those relationships have impacted our lives. Whether treating an individual or a family, CFAR therapists are trained to include family members in treatment especially when working with children. We work with people to explore faulty patterns they may be stuck in, helping give them the tools they need to create the change they want to see in their life. CFAR therapists are specifically trained in Marriage and Family Therapy, Art Therapy and/or Evidenced Based Trauma Therapies.

We believe that our “system’s approach” to treatment not only decreases symptoms but also decreases parental stress and increases overall family functioning. We become partners in parenting empowering members of the family to make a permanent, positive change towards becoming productive members of their own family and of our community as a whole.
