CLCC provides spiritually sensitive counseling services to individuals, couples and families to promote emotional and spiritual health and wholeness.

Our Vision

• Individuals, couples and families who have strengthened their communications and relationships and their capacity to deal effectively with personal and professional challenges.

Who We Are:

•  Creative Living Counseling Center (CLCC) is a private, nonprofit, interfaith, counseling center established in 1967, dedicated to healing and enriching individual, family and community life in northern New Jersey through quality psychotherapy, spiritually sensitive pastoral counseling and community outreach educational programs that embrace mind, body and spirit.
   

• Our staff includes fully accredited psychotherapists, of which several are also ordained clergy, two social workers, a licensed psychoanalyst and a psychiatrist.  Counseling is provided at various sites in Bergen and Passaic counties.
   

• We work closely with leaders of faith communities and other professionals, such as doctors and school guidance counselors, who refer clients for counseling. CLCC also provides numerous community outreach programs to foster spirituality, creativity, healthy relationships and improved daily functioning.
   

• We are approved as a service center by the American Association of Pastoral Counselors.

Our Values:

• We respect each individual's growth process and personal beliefs.
