4. How do I make an appointment?

Simply call our intake department at 215-382-6680 x1 or visit www.CouncilForRelationships.org or www.OperationHomeandHealing.org to fill out the brief Appointment Request Form. We'll return your call within 2 business days and help set up a convenient appointment with a specially-trained therapist in one of our offices. We have a quick and simple process for matching you with a therapist and setting your appointment: first, you’ll speak with an intake coordinator, who will ask you some basic question and determine which one of our offices is most convenient for you; and second, you will receive a call from that office’s director to determine the best therapist for you. Once you have been matched with a therapist, you will set up a mutually-convenient time directly with him/her.
