About

We're here to help. Schedule a free consultation now. Our Mission Statement: Using evidence based approaches to support healing of mind and spirit. 

The Marriage and Family Institute is registered in Colorado as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in service to the public. All contributions are tax deductible.  Service rates are based on a client's ability to pay. At present, we do not accept insurance, but we will soon hire post-Master's level therapist to offer services for as little as $25.00/hr.   We also accept Medicaid and Medicare and most major insurances. Schedule a free consultation now to decide if we're a good "fit" for your present needs.  We work with clients 12 and up. 

We currently offer "tele-therapy" online via a HIPPA-compliant platform; and, for those who prefer to meet face-to-face, we have an office located at 3030 S. College Avenue, Suite 210, in Fort Collins, Colorado. The office is next to Foothills Mall, near S College Ave & Swallow Rd.
We specialize in Couples and Family Therapy, Addiction Recovery, and the interface between psychology and spirituality: psychospirituality. 

Our Principles

Your health is our priority. Our principles are closely aligned with the Caring for Colorado organization, a grantmaking program developed to achieve equity, health and well-being for Colorado’s children and families. These principles also guide our decisions at MFIOC: 

 1. We support the health and well-being of all youth and their families, and we prioritize resources and attention to youth living in families with low incomes, youth of color, and youth who experience systemic injustice. 

2.  We support the voice and perspective of children, youth, families and caregivers and support efforts that seek, integrate, and respond to their insights and solutions. 

3.  We partner with organizations that are rooted in and trusted by the children, youth and communities they serve.
