The Counseling Referral service was started in 2005 with a grant from Gamma Mu Foundation when we recognized a need for GLBT supportive counselors.  Especially in our area, people can find counselors who first wanted to fix the "gay and lesbian" problem.  We believe that finding a group of GLBT counselors to whom we could refer callers was essential.

Counselors who applied to be on our referral list and have been screened.  Each brings experience and knowledge specifically about GLBT issues as well as areas such as couples counseling, substance abuse, family concerns and other more serious mental health issues.

Callers to our referral service (901-347-8701) are then referred to counselors from the list.  Our agreements with the counselors provide a sliding-scale fee structure so that low-income individuals will be able to afford the counseling that they may need.  No confidential information is housed by MGLCC.  For more information about the program, please call the Executive Director.
