MFLCs are free, they do not take records and you don’t need a referral.

The Military and Family Life Counselor is a Masters or PH.D. level licensed clinical counselor that works with families, individuals, couples and children to provide short term, non-medical, problem identification and counseling services. They are able to address relationships, stress management, grief after loss, occupational issues, crisis intervention and other individual and family issues. They also work with existing military family support programs to compliment services provided.

Seven Things to Know About MFLC

  1. All MFLCs are licensed professional mental health counselors (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, etc.) who provide non-medical solution-focused “counseling” (no longer called “consultation”) to military personnel and their families. MFLCs assist people to explore alternate solutions to current daily life stressors.
  2. MFLCs are considered an augmentation, not a replacement, for existing family support services.
  3. Anything shared with an MFLC is confidential unless it is a Duty to Warn situation, as the MFLC is a mandated reporter and not a restricted reporter. Duty to Warn is when someone tells an MFLC they want to hurt themselves or others, to include domestic violence, sexual assault or child or elderly abuse.
  4. MFLCs maintain contact with Marines/Sailors (and their families) through their confidential cell phones and HIPPA compliant Zoom platform.
  5. The MFLCs’ work day is flexible; however, it is a 40 hour work week. This provides the MFLCs the opportunity to meet with people prior to work, after work and to support those who work a shift schedule. Additionally, it enables the MFLCs to facilitate virtual workshops or other groups.
  6. MFLCs do not keep records.
  7. People can meet with the MFLC for up to 12 sessions per issue.
