About Scranton Counseling Center

Scranton Counseling Center provides inclusive mental health treatment and integrated support for co-occurring substance use for children, teens, and adults throughout Lackawanna, Susquehanna, and nearby communities. As a nonprofit organization, it delivers outpatient counseling, mobile and school-based programs, early intervention, and adult crisis stabilization, including a 24/7 walk-in option. Services are available across the lifespan, from early childhood through adulthood, helping people move forward in recovery through community-centered, person-focused care that supports dignity, personal choice, and overall well-being.

At Scranton Counseling Center, care typically starts with a thorough evaluation to develop individualized treatment plans based on a person’s skills, objectives, and clinical needs. Licensed clinicians provide individual, group, and family therapy, complemented by psychiatric services, case management, and psychological evaluations. The center also uses evidence-based specialty interventions such as multisystemic therapy (MST), play therapy, and psychiatric rehabilitation to strengthen coping abilities and emotional stability. Support is provided in multiple settings, including homes, schools, outpatient offices, and through telehealth, so clients can access services in ways that fit their lives.

The center’s 8-bed Crisis Receiving and Stabilization Unit is designed as a secure, unlocked space where adults can receive around-the-clock support for up to three days. Care includes staff supervision, medication assistance, and therapeutic services. Individuals are expected to be able to manage basic daily routines and to bring their own medications. In addition, structured programs like Katie’s Place Clubhouse and the Possibilities Program offer supervised daytime activities that help clients build practical work, life, and social skills. With resources ranging from walk-in crisis support to longer-term rehabilitation, Scranton Counseling Center promotes safety, consistency, and meaningful progress in everyday environments.
