Yes, most of our services, including credit and debt counseling, are free. Some specialized programs, like reverse mortgage or homebuyer assistance, may have a fee.

Question 3

Do I need to make an appointment?

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.

Question 5

What if I don't have time for a counseling session right now?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What do I need for my initial financial counseling session?

Accepted Answer

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance. Your first session is supportive and judgment-free. A certified counselor will review your finances, explore your goals, and start building a personalized budget. If you have details about your income, expenses, or bills, that’s helpful—but not necessary.
