About Faulk Center for Counseling

The Faulk Center for Counseling in Boca Raton, Florida, has been part of the community for decades. They offer affordable mental health services including substance use disorder (SUD) counseling. They know that recovery isn’t just about breaking free from addiction. It’s about building a new life in a place that supports healing, and Boca Raton offers that kind of environment with its peaceful neighborhoods and a strong sense of community.
Services at the Faulk Center are provided by graduate students and volunteer professionals. Licensed psychologists supervise everything. One thing I appreciate about their program is that they offer free and low cost services which makes it easier to get help.

Teen Recovery and Mental Health Support

The Faulk Center offers weekly group therapy for middle and high school students facing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use and other challenges. Group sessions provide a safe space where teens can work through their challenges without judgment.

Personalized Therapy for Real Life Challenges

Life can throw a lot at you, and sometimes it’s hard to face it all alone. Whether it’s just you, your partner or the whole family, therapy at Faulk Center gives you a place to talk things out. Plus their therapy comes at a reduced cost, and there’s financial help if you need it.

Wellness Programs to Support Your Journey

They offer several wellness programs to support you beyond traditional therapy. What I like about the programs here are the practical tools and sense of community they offer.

One great option is the free Drop-In Mindfulness sessions that are held once a week via Zoom. Their 30 minute sessions give you the chance to practice mindfulness and meditation in a welcoming, low key setting. They’re completely free, and anyone can join.

Special Care for Seniors

The Senior Outreach program connects older adults with weekly phone calls from a trained clinician to reduce loneliness and offer emotional care in English, Spanish and Creole. Group sessions are also available for seniors who are staying at assisted living facilities.

This service is just one example of how the center truly focuses on people at every stage of life. I appreciate that the Faulk Center for Counseling offers unique programs like this, but also provides traditional mental health and addiction treatment options.

I must say it's sad to see some of these bad reviews on such a nice place. I used to go here often a few years back. It was great. Couldn't beat the price. Actually thinking of going back soon. Not sure if it's changed but they really work with you on the price based on what you can afford. Yes there are student therapists but for the price you pay it's better than nothing. Have you seen what other Psychologist charge these days!? The students are very bright and well educated they just don't have a lot of experience. Cut them some dam slack. Instead of complaining people should be grateful understanding. I swear people just LOVEEEEEE to complain. How about work out your issue with management in a reasonable manner dont go tattle tale and bash them online.

Other Forms of Payment

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Addiction Treatments

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

I would not use this place as a pet whisperer. The counselors are very young and don't understand. Do not use them for anything that would need to be documented. They wrote that my daughter with a comprehension disorder was not participating at the highest level in group. ... Read More

I have been fortunate enough to have been a friend of the Faulk Center for almost eight years now, and I can confidently recommend them as a place of amazing clinical care. The staff here are professional, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to providing the best service possible for the community they serve. I have recommended loved ones to their care and would 100% continue to do so.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you Erin for your kind words. We strive to be a place of comfort, help, and hope for those who are struggling with their mental health. We have been a lifeline for many in our community, but we keep striving to help even more. Thank you for sharing your experience.

This place is a ripoff. All they care about is money, not the well-being of anyone. Overcharge for everything and toss your child in an unsanitary room full of other kids. Counseling is from immature, unprofessional student trainees to save money. Find a LICENCED professional if you're having issues with your child, this is certainly not the place for proper care.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Hi Lance, I’ll have to admit the tone and timing of your review took me by surprise. First, I would encourage you, or any client for that matter, to reach out directly to either myself or the leadership of the Faulk Center if you have any issue with our mental health services. I can assure that we take very seriously the quality of services rendered and that we are open to constructive feedback and suggestions from our clients to ensure EVERY client experience exceeds expectations. Second, we are just now planning to roll out in-person group counseling for children and adolescents since our pivot to telehealth brought about by COVID. With that, I am curious what prompted such a harsh response two years removed from our last in-person child group sessions? Finally, your assertions regarding client fees, and money in general, does not align with our low-cost/no-cost model of care. Children/Adolescent groups meet weekly with a fee of $25 for the whole month. Support groups are $5 a session. Some groups (LGBTQ Teen and My Generation) are offered at no-cost. We even take it a step further by allocating funds to help financially struggling clients offset any fees that they may incur. As a 501c3 nonprofit, our finances are available for review at Guidestar.org (where we have a Platinum Transparency Seal). I won’t entertain your accusations of cleanliness and proper care in a public forum, but would rather suggest that potential clients come check out our facilities, meet our clinicians, and make their own judgment. You obviously have strong opinions, but please be mindful that words have power and that by using this forum to make serious accusations against a nonprofit that has served the community for 50 years without incident can have a negative impact on those who are desperately seeking accessible, high-quality help with their mental health. Again, happy to talk with you in person regarding all this and more. Reach out anytime at 561-483-5300 - Jonathan

As a former doctoral intern and then a clinical staff member at the Faulk Center, I can attest to the attention, care, and compassion that those who seek their services will experience. I never hesitate to refer family, friends, and my own clients who are seeking affordable, quality care because I know they will not be disappointed.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Thank you for your kind review. We are all passionate about the work we do and thankful for all the interns and clinical staff who are committed to providing the compassionate care that you spoke of.
