Financial Counseling
What Is Financial Counseling?
Financial counseling in therapy addresses the emotional, psychological, and practical challenges related to money. It integrates financial guidance with mental health support to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors around money impact their overall well-being.
How It Can Help
Money is one of the top sources of stress for individuals, couples, and families. It can be deeply tied to:
Anxiety, depression, or shame
Self-worth and identity
Relationship or family conflict
Trauma or survival mindset
Cultural or generational beliefs about money
Financial counseling in therapy helps clients unpack these deeper issues while also learning practical skills to manage their finances with more confidence and clarity.
