Our communities are being hit hard by all of the consequences of COVID-19. The impact on our mental health is immense and the economic effects for many are daunting. In light of the current health and economic circumstances, we are waiving all fees for clients of the Bette D. Harris Clinic. With the very real economic consequences of the pandemic on families, we do not want there to be any cost barrier that prevents clients from seeking the mental healthcare they need.
If costs are stopping you from seeking therapy, we can help.
If you have communication issues as a couple, need help managing your child’s behavior, or want to improve your own mental health, you don’t have to wait to find a therapist, teletherapy is an effective option.
Through the Bette D. Harris Family & Child Clinic, we provide counseling services at no cost for those who qualify. Qualification for the Clinic is determined based on household income/size of household. Insurance is neither required nor accepted.
The Clinic is staffed by Northwestern University graduate level therapists-in-training, who are educated and supervised by highly trained licensed therapists.
Research conducted at The Family Institute at Northwestern University has found that therapy provided by our graduate student therapists is significantly effective in reducing client distress and improving their relationships.

Our family has had an overall very positive experience at The Family Institute. Our therapist-in-training was able to connect with our children so they felt comfortable, yet was also very professional. We all benefitted individually and collectively, in ways that were initially sought, but also in unexpected ways. I would definitely recommend The Family Institute to family and friends.
My experience with The Family Institute has been beyond rewarding. They have been very accommodating from the beginning and my therapist-in-training has always been professional and compassionate. I’m so happy to be working with her and am incredibly grateful for her services.
I really appreciated being able to access affordable mental health services. I found it invaluable and have let other people know that it is there as an option.
I’ve just completed my second session with The Family Institute. This program offers incredible therapists who I’ve felt both genuinely cared for me and were knowledgeable in their field. I look forward to future sessions with The Family Institute.
