COMMUNITY FAMILY CARE NETWORK

Christian Counseling Center
CFCN is a local counseling center in North Fort Myers, serving all of southwest Florida.  We are Christian in philosophy and are operated by the CHURCH ALIVE INTERNATIONAL, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation, registered with the state of FL.  We are affiliated with the National Christian Counselers Association, the American Association of Christian Counselors, and a member in good standing with the Christian Chamber of Southwest Florida.  Though we are primarily Christian based, nearly half of our clients would not consider themselves to be Christian, but instead have come by referal, and stay for the  quality of care they receive.

OFFICE HOURS are from 8:30am to 10:pm on Mondays and Tuesdays.  A counseling session is 90 minutes in length and is charged at a flat fee, regardless of the actual amount of time needed.  The current rates are as follows: The price for a day session is $66.00 from 8:30 am through the 5:30 pm.  There are three evening sessions per day which begin at 5:30pm and end at 10:00pm, and each is $95.00.  Although there are no normal office hours throughout the rest of the week because of other commitments, when available, a session can be scheduled at various times at a fee of $132.00.  Our rates are much more than fair when compared to the going rates in the area, because of this, there is no sliding scale and insurance is not accepted. Also we accept credit cards. You are now able to prepay for an appointment using your credit card or debit card, by going to the online office.  Please note that there is an additional $4.50 charge for paying through this site because of the cost of this service to me.   If you are linking this account to your credit card account, please be financially responsible.  Please know that using PayPal on line is one of the most secure transactions you can make with a bank card.  For more information or to book an appointment, please visit Norm's online office, and use the email me button.                  Thanks

We live in a mobile society with ever changing needs.  As our population base increases in age (directly related to the maturing of the "Baby Boomer" generation), I believe we are seeing a necessary return to house calls by family physicians and a swelling of the home health care industry.  So also we are seeing the need for a more flexable approach in the spiritual/emotional care of this same generation.

With this, and other critical factors in mind, we have planned and developed several specialized features in our services to accommodate the needs of  this same group of individuals.

First, we offer by phone much of the same therapy as is experienceded in the office appointmant.  We recognize that there are often times, distance, and circumstances which make it near impossible for some to be able to make it to a local counseling office, and within the present system, these will never manage to get the care they need.                          Cost is $66.00

Second, we recognize that not everyone that is home-bound is able to get the level of service they may require by telephone, or by telephone exclusively.  Because of this we offer in home-therapy on a limited bases.                                                Cost is $132.00

Third, because of the proliferation of single parent, broken and abusive homes, and the wide spread relativistic worldview modeled by society over the last thirty years with its lack of workable reality, there is a tremendous void of adequate parenting and responsible life lessons having been received by so many today.  We offer therefore, through Life Skills Coaching, help to individuals that have thus far, been trapped in this ill-equipped state of a lifelong handycap.
                                               Fees are negotiated

Fourth because of the widespread growth of violence in today's society,  we are seeing a sharp rise of abuse at home.  This is amounting to sexual, verbal, emotional and physical abuse, and is flourishing as child, elder and spousal abuse, which is being perpertraited on both sexes with ever increasing commonality. Often, the victim feels trapped and helpless, and is affraid to make the break to safey.  Then if they do, too often, as we have seen with many of our clients, they simply make the transition from abuse victim to stalking victim.  Through the Omega Training Series, there is a way for many to take back control of their lives.  For more information on this program click here

Fifth, we have designed a program to help those who are in physical fear for their safety. For those who are trapped in abuse, or stalking situations, we put together a special individualized package of many of the elements needed, from emotional support, to personal safety and security, to gaining back the life skills and confidence needed to start over.  We would be glad to consider putting together a plan for you and your circumstances.                 Fees are negotiated
