About Us
Rivergate Family Resource Center (RFRC) is a professional counseling practice. RFRC provides a safe & confidential environment, where clients are free to explore their identity, their dreams, and make the changes that they want in their lives. We believe that every person is unique and matters, and that the value and respect for every human life is a God given privilege.
RFRC also provides faith based counseling, merging clinical methods of counseling with Christian principles of life to offer a more holistic approach to change by engaging the mind, soul, and spirit.
