"If it hadn't been for you!" That's a phrase our counselors often hear, reflecting clients' feelings about their life had it not been for the compassionate, professional counseling they received at Diakon Family Life Services – Capital Region.

With an emphasis on promoting relationships by using a positive approach that builds family strengths, Diakon Family Life Services helps clients to handle challenges and emotions ranging from life-threatening situations and addictions to vague feelings that life could be better. We help people to see beyond the clouds, to take the steps necessary to gain a sense of balance and control again.

  • Separation or divorce
  • Substance abuse
