CLIENT STORIES

“Greenpath showed me how I could pay down all my debts, and still stay within my budget. I feel free because I would have never pay this debt off on my own. I would have really been struggling and not making very much progress. I would definitely tell anyone that’s struggling, especially with credit card debt, to seek help with GreenPath.”

Is financial counseling free?
Yes. Generally financial counseling, including credit counseling and debt counseling are free. Some of our specialized services for reverse mortgage and home-buyer assistance have a fee.

The first general counseling session takes about an hour, although it will depend on your unique situation and what you need to accomplish your goals.
Do I need to make an appointment?
No appointment is needed to talk to a counselor by phone. Use the “Request a Call” form, or call us to talk to the Client Services team.

No problem! We can complete as much as you have time for, and finish up at a more convenient time. You can also schedule an appointment to be called when you will be available.
What do I need for my initial session?
One of the first things a counselor will do with you is put together your budget. Having an idea of your income and expenses is helpful, but not required.
