The mission of the Faulk Center for Counseling is to promote emotional well-being through a variety of free and low-cost programs for counseling, therapy, and support. At the Faulk Center, we provide a warm, accepting and confidential environment where people who are dealing with life's problems are helped to make changes or to cope more effectively with things that they cannot change.
Since 1973 the Center has provided a variety of counseling services to people of all ages at its facility on Boca Rio Road and at outreach locations throughout Palm Beach and Broward counties. Mental health services are provided by graduate students pursuing master's degrees or doctoral degrees in psychology, social work or mental health counseling, as well as clinical volunteers who hold advanced degrees in a mental health field.
All graduate students and volunteers are trained and supervised by the Center's staff of licensed psychologists. Dr. Elizabeth H. Faulk, the first woman to receive a Ph. D. in psychology from the University of Florida, established a successful private practice in Boca Raton.

The Center offers several adult therapy groups at different times during the week.
Our therapy groups do not have a specific theme, but rather bring together adults from diverse backgrounds experiencing a range of life's problems.
Through the use of an interpersonal approach, clients are given the opportunity to both give and receive feedback with regards to their presenting issues and concerns.
Through the group process, clients gain a broader perspective on their issues and benefit from increased self-awareness.
