"I find so much comfort knowing that there are affordable, accessible services available for people who just need that extra support during difficult times,"

1 Client Challenge

When life's challenges become overwhelming, Catholic Charities Counseling Services provides a vital lifeline. For one local mother, the agency has been an anchor not just once, but twice. Three years ago, she first came to Catholic Charities overwhelmed by the stress of leaving a partner with substance abuse issues. Through individual therapy, she learned to make sound decisions and rebuild her self-esteem.

2 Our Response

Recently, she returned to therapy to face a new challenge: adjusting to life as the head of her household and wanting to "find herself" while reconnecting with her immediate family. Over the course of eight targeted sessions, a clinician worked with her using mindfulness, grounding techniques, and positive parenting interventions. Today, she feels empowered, less stressed, and deeply reconnected with her children.

3 The Outcome

Through compassionate, affordable care, Catholic Charities Diocese of Stockton continues to prove that healing restores individuals, strengthens parents, and brings families back together.
