Marblehead Counseling Center, Inc.

Marblehead Counseling Center is a nonprofit mental health agency serving Marblehead, Swampscott and nearby North Shore communities. Its clinicians work with children, adolescents, adults, seniors and families on issues including anxiety, depression and mood disorders, substance use, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, eating disorders, trauma, relationships, and gender and sexual identity. Social workers also help residents understand eligibility for and access housing, financial, meal and other social resources.

A group of Marblehead residents founded the center in 1969, when the need for help with substance use, depression and family upheaval was especially pressing. New clients complete an intake form, after which staff match them with a therapist suited to their needs for private, confidential sessions. The center’s philosophy is to keep working with clients as long as they benefit, and support for older adults covers grief, moves into care and serious illness.
