Northeastern Family Institute (NFI) Vermont serves youth and families in the state through a variety of programs. The Family Center is an NFI Vermont community-based program serving children, adolescents, families, and adults. 

Since our establishment in 2004, the Family Center has been committed to offering innovative, trauma-informed mental and behavioral health services to individuals and families in our community. 

As an outpatient therapy clinic, we specialize in family therapy, recognizing the importance of interconnections and strengths within a family. Working with families respects the importance of caregivers in the lives of children and adolescents. Family work rests on the notions that healing the family system is one of the most powerful ways to promote change, build resilience and improve relational health.

We also provide individual therapy to adults and adolescents addressing a variety of concerns: anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, intimacy, and lifecycle challenges. Even when we work with adults or adolescents individually, we retain a strong family framework. Other outpatient therapy services provided at the Family Center include: parenting support, couples therapy, and group therapy. 

Beyond our outpatient therapy services, we work with schools and community programs for clinical consultation, psycho-educational evaluations, and in-service trainings. While trauma-informed practices have become central to our work with schools, we continue to consult and train on a variety of other issues as well. The schools have been excellent partners, and have contributed strong leadership in addressing the needs of many youth and families in our community. 

We are especially proud of our community partnerships, within Vermont as well as those across the country, and with their help we are committed to bringing high-quality treatment to individuals and families throughout the state.
