Creative Family Solutions

What Creative Family Solutions does

Creative Family Solutions (CFS) is a non-profit, community-based counseling agency founded in 1999 and headquartered at 13101 River Road in Luling, Louisiana, where it serves the entirety of St. Charles Parish. The organization delivers individual, couples, family, and group counseling — including specialized tracks in adolescent substance abuse, adult anger management, parenting, and vinyasa yoga — alongside therapeutic modalities such as art therapy and play therapy. Its clinical team of approximately eight (an Executive Director, a Clinical Director, and six Staff Counselors holding LPC-S, LPC, or PLPC credentials) treats concerns including anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, abuse, substance use, behavioral issues, marital conflict, and co-parenting.

The agency is operationally defined by a "wraparound approach" that links counseling to the local justice and education systems. CFS was founded directly off the Families in Need of Services (FINS) program and maintains core strategic partnerships with the 29th Judicial District Court, the St. Charles Parish District Attorney, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff, and St. Charles Parish Public Schools, making court and school referrals a primary intake channel. This positioning is reinforced by non-profit mission framing — services are provided regardless of ability to pay — and a revenue model that operates through insurance and Medicaid reimbursement.

From a commercial and technology standpoint, CFS is a single-site service business with no disclosed digital platform, no proprietary software, no app, and no API surface; the public website (cfshope.org) runs on GoDaddy Website Builder and serves informational purposes only. Marketing is limited to organic Facebook and the website, with no outbound sales motion. Distribution is purely direct, in-person delivery within St. Charles Parish, governed by referral relationships with public-sector institutions rather than competitive market dynamics.
