Creative Family Solutions

Creative Family Solutions is pleased to announce that Megan Wilson has completed all requirements to be a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)! Megan has been providing counseling services at CFS since 2023 as she worked towards the goal of the 3,000 hours of clinical experience needed for licensure. Megan will continue at CFS as a staff counselor serving individuals, couples, and families.

Creative Family Solutions is celebrating 25 years in St. Charles Parish! Throughout the 2023-2024 year, CFS will be honoring our supporters!

Today we had the opportunity to visit with members of the St. Charles Women's Club!

The Women’s Club has supported our Character Critters program, which is a character development service for pre-school children. Over the years, CFS counselors have used the Character Critters program at Head Start, recreation camps, and other settings in the community.

Members of the Women’s Club have also been instrumental in providing support services to female inmates at Nelson Coleman Correctional Center. One such effort involved an emotional processing group, which was facilitated by one of the CFS counselors.

The Women’s club motto is “Making a Difference.” They are certainly making a genuine impact in our community.

CFS is appreciative of the Women’s Club and look forward to our continued collaboration to make a difference in the lives of children and adults.

As a nonprofit counseling center in St. Charles Parish, Creative Family Solutions empowers individuals to make good choices, reclaim self-esteem, trust others and achieve goals in the home and educational and judicial systems (www.cfshope.org).

Today we had the opportunity to visit with leaders from the St. Charles Parish Public Schools!

As a nonprofit counseling center in St. Charles Parish, Creative Family Solutions empowers individuals to make good choices, reclaim self-esteem, trust others and achieve goals in the home and educational and judicial systems.

As our mission statement reflects, CFS intentionally collaborates with our local educational system. This is not a new collaboration, rather one that began during the 1998-1999 school year. Currently, CFS provides support services at the two Head Start centers. We also have strong working relationships with school counselors and other school mental health professionals to address the social and emotional needs of students.
