Harbor Christian Counseling

What Harbor Christian Counseling does

Harbor Christian Counseling is a Boston-based private mental health counseling practice founded in 2017 that integrates Christian biblical principles with clinical mental health care. The firm delivers individual, couples, child, and family counseling addressing concerns such as anxiety, mood disorders, trauma recovery, grief and loss, conflict resolution, and identity issues, supported by a team of 19 employees operating from a single office at 874 Beacon Street in Boston.

The business extends beyond one-on-one sessions through the Harbor Groups program (clinician-led peer support for parenting, infidelity recovery, and medical providers) and the Church Mental Health Partnership (CMHP), which contracts Harbor's clinical expertise into church communities across the Boston metropolitan area. Content channels including the "Here & Now" monthly newsletter, a "Recovering From Infidelity" eBook, and the "Anchored in Hope" guide serve as top-of-funnel lead capture. Speaking engagements extend reach into regional faith audiences.

Revenue is generated on a professional services basis through per-session counseling fees; pricing is set during intake and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via an online intake form and a third-party client portal (ClientSecure) for scheduling and secure messaging, with referrals sourced from individual self-referral and church/community channels. No funding events, ownership structure, or revenue figures have been disclosed.
