About Family Life Counseling and

Family Life Counseling and Psychiatric Services is a nonprofit mental health and addiction treatment agency serving six North Central Ohio counties, with an office in Galion among its locations. Founded in Mansfield in 1999, they added drug and alcohol treatment in 2000. Their philosophy centers on treating the whole family rather than only the person who is struggling, with the goal of returning that person to a healthy home and community life. Their substance use services include adult and adolescent outpatient treatment, recovery groups, case management, recovery housing, and support for family members. They are accredited by CARF and certified by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Adult outpatient care pairs individual counseling with weekly topic-based recovery groups. Sessions explore motivation, triggers, and underlying issues such as trauma, low self-esteem, and self-sabotage, and schedules can flex around work and family. Their adolescent program, launched in 2018, draws on the Seven Challenges model and tracks progress through drug screens, school attendance, family functioning, and legal outcomes. They also run level-2 recovery homes for men in Willard for residents with at least 30 days of sobriety, coordinate with courts, children services, and medication-assisted treatment providers, and offer Christian counseling for those who want a faith-based approach.
