The Family Institute at Northwestern University

Through research, education and clinical services, The Family Institute at Northwestern University is one of the nation's leading relationship-based behavioral health organizations committed to strengthening and healing children and adolescents, couples, families and individuals.

We tailor treatment to match the client’s unique needs and goals, integrating feedback from clients through measurement-informed care. The Family Institute has a collaborative team of over 100 clinicians who engage in continuous learning, consultation, information sharing and providing effective referrals.

For those who cannot afford therapy, we offer high-quality counseling services to children, individuals, couples and families through our Bette D. Harris Family & Child Clinic. The Clinic is staffed by our outstanding graduate-level therapists-in-training, who are educated and supervised by our renowned therapists.

We offer teletherapy and in-person therapy at our offices in and around Chicago.
