HOW IT ALL BEGAN:

Family Healing Center Beginnings

Family Healing Center in Livingston is the brainchild of Malik Carey and Bill Powell. Bill Powell has 50 plus years’ experience as a licensed clinical therapist and has helped many married and committed couples to rebuild their relationships. Bill and Malik saw that solo practices usually offered limited therapeutic resources. They had a vision to open a mental health center that would change the lives of families by providing a full complement of services.  And so Family Healing Center was established and staffed with highly qualified therapists.

We can help you overcome
the fears and obstacles in your life.

TESTIMONIALS
The following are just some of the positive things that our clients are saying about us. We are pleased to find that Family Healing Center is succeeding in healing and being beneficial to many.

“Having Claudia Garrity as my therapist has been life changing for me. She allows me to vent and be 100% vulnerable while giving me strategies to cope with the challenges of life. I am able to see how sweet life can because of working with her & I’m eternally grateful”

TESTIMONIALS

"Therapist Ellerbee-Nurse has been a tremendous help through these trying times with me and my husband. Since we have been going to weekly sessions, she has shown us a positive outlook on our situation and given us the proper tools to get through everyday life.  We recommend Family Healing Center to everyone not just for couples but for individuals too.  Always protect your peace and it's OK not to be ok."

TESTIMONIALS
“I suffer from anxiety and initially always believed I could deal with the symptoms myself. When the symptoms became too intense, it started to affect my loved ones. With the help of Andrea Stefens, I was able to learn the skills needed to appropriately cope with my anxiety. Through therapy I learned that I am strong enough and capable of living life positively and that the unknown is not necessarily a bad thing. Thank you everyone at Family Healing Center.”
