Our professional staff members have spent years working with a diversity of people in many situations. In addition to the community-based counseling offered in northeastern Pennsylvania by Family Life Services, Diakon offers counseling and education in key locations. Usually, people don't finish the thought, because they're uncertain, or even afraid to imagine, where they'd be if it hadn't been for the compassionate, professional counseling they received. With an emphasis on promoting relationships by using a positive approach that builds family strengths, we help clients handle challenges and emotions ranging from life-threatening situations and addictions to vague feelings that life could be better. We help people to see beyond the clouds, to take the steps necessary to gain a sense of balance and control again.
