Once Our Lady of Good Counsel Residential Mental Health Center (OLGC) opens, we will provide a unique type of faith-focused temporary stay residential mental health program for adult men and women who are not in crisis - (not a threat to themselves or others). OLGC is the first-of-its-kind Catholic residential mental health center for adults and will be the only one in existence in the United States. Being a residential campus makes it possible for adult men and women, living in separate rooms, to be able to come from anywhere in the United States in order to receive comprehensive, compassionate, and professional Catholic mental health assistance.

The need for a consistent solid professional program is real. OLGC will deliver a professional and research-based program, applying principles of Thomistic Psychology to assist in the recovery of mental health for adults through this advanced, unique, integrated, and complete mental health model which will be fundamentally Catholic.

Clients are living their program immersed in a Catholic environment similar to a monastic lifestyle, supported by compassionate staff, and will receive spiritual direction, and live in community.

Assessments will personalize each client’s plan to help provide an environment for healing and to build hope as a primary goal for the recovery of their mental health. We will seek to guide our clients in gaining or regaining independence, and value their human dignity. 

When we open, you or your loved one can look forward to getting a personalized and structured plan.

Immersion in a monastic style of daily living in an integrated, residential setting is impactful in forming good and healthy habits, growing in virtue, and increasing the likelihood of the restoration of mental health. 

Opportunities will be available for families to also be involved in certain aspects of the program, virtually and/or at the Center, including events in which families will be invited to participate. 

Supporting entities are being developed, where the profits will be reinvested into OLGC, which will also offer opportunities for clients to engage in meaningful work, earn money, develop skills, foster relationships, gain confidence, and build virtue, alongside caring, empathetic staff members.

This immersion into a Catholic environment is the first-of-its-kind in the U.S. and will be faithful to the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church, with nothing practiced or introduced that is contrary to the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church.
