In addition to our core direct service programs that provide counseling and psychotherapy, The Family Institute at Northwestern University has developed a number of Specialized Services to address unique issues faced by certain populations. While all of these Specialized Services include therapeutic components, many also offer educational and outreach initiatives aimed at increasing public awareness and understanding.

• Adoptive Families Program
• Testing/Assessment Program
• Child & Adolescent Program
• Family Business Program
• LGBT Program (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender)
• Midlife & Beyond Program for Maturing Adults
• Mindfulness & Behavior Therapies
