About CFC
COUNSELING FOR CHANGE
We're ready to help when you're ready to heal.
Counseling For Change, Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization serving the Southern Indiana region with a continuum of care in the prevention, intervention, and treatment of the disease of addiction, and gambling for individuals, families and communities. Counseling For Change (CFC) staff and volunteers are trained professionals who provide help, hope and healing to those in need.
CFC was established in 2002 to fill a void in treatment in Vanderburgh County and the surrounding areas. At that time, those in need of services often found waiting lists that could be as long as two months. In the treatment world, this kind of wait was unacceptable to the founders of CFC as well as the courts in Vanderburgh County. CFC began in donated space in the basement of the Evansville Housing Authority. Initial assessments were scheduled within 48 hours of client contact. Groups were offered at times necessitated by client jobs that began early in the morning or late at night. CFC utilized the latest evidence based treatment protocols coupled with 12-step philosophy. Quick availability, coupled with quality low cost treatment, created a strong presence in the theraputic community.

Today was my first visit. She was by far the best counselor I’ve yet to see. She was caring, communication was wonderful and she had a positive outlook on things. I was very impressed with her and I look forward to seeing her again.
Best therapist I’ve worked with. Zero judgement. Goes at a pace that’s right for the individual. Educates, supports, and guides without being soft or being too firm. I wouldn’t have made it through one of the hardest transformations in my life without CFC!
I feel extremely blessed to have found Counseling For Change. My therapist has changed my world. She has always created a safe space to process and identify. I strongly recommend them for anyone who is healing from trauma/ptsd.
My therapist is the best mental health worker that I have ever consulted. I have suffered from depression, anxiety, and trauma for over a decade, and he's helped see me through tough times to be on a path to becoming a whole person again.
