About Scranton Counseling Center
Scranton Counseling Center delivers inclusive mental health and co-occurring substance use care for children, adolescents, and adults across Lackawanna, Susquehanna, and surrounding counties. As a nonprofit, the center offers outpatient therapy, mobile and school-based services, early intervention, and adult crisis stabilization through a 24/7 walk-in unit. Programs span from early childhood to adulthood, supporting recovery through community-based, person-centered services that promote dignity, autonomy, and wellness. Treatment at the center begins with a comprehensive assessment to create tailored care plans that align with each person’s strengths, goals, and needs. Licensed staff deliver individual, group, and family therapy supported by psychiatric services, case management, and psychological assessments. Specialized therapies such as multisystemic therapy (MST), play therapy, and psychiatric rehabilitation build coping skills and emotional resilience. Clients receive care in homes, schools, outpatient settings, or via telehealth to ensure flexible, accessible support. Their 8-bed Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Unit offers a safe, unlocked space for adults to receive 24-hour care for up to three days, with supervision, medication support, and therapy. Clients must be independent in daily routines and bring their own medications. Its interventions such as Katie’s Place Clubhouse and the Possibilities Program provide structured daytime activities to help individuals build work, life, and social skills. From walk-in services to long-term rehabilitation, the center fosters stability and meaningful progress in everyday settings.
