From our Executive Director:“Samaritan Counseling is a Not-for-Profit?”
“In fact, we are!” I answered. “We are on a Mission!” Many in our community may not realize that we, as a not-for-profit corporation, continue to be guided by our mission to serve the public interest, rather than to make a profit. Right! We do not make a profit from the services we provide. Rather, we have learned the fine art of financial prudence. We have learned to stretch a dollar like nobody’s business. We have made it so much of nobody’s business, in fact, that many people just don’t realize that we have relied, for over 30 years, on the financial support of our community to provide high-quality mental health counseling services to the Mohawk Valley.
Each year The Board of Directors and the Executive Director of Samaritan Counseling appeal to you, our community, for financial support. My worry, however, is that we have not expanded our philanthropic vision widely enough to encompass all who have the ability to support our mission.
I am now appealing directly to you. You are reading this because you refer patients, clients, friends, or family to our counseling services; you might be a past client, or the parent of a client; you might be a provider of similar community services, or an educator, attorney, or pediatrician. My message is simple: insurance simply does not cover the full cost of mental health treatment; and some of our clients have no insurance or do not have an insurance that covers our services. Even with our prudent management of resources, we cannot provide our services without community financial support.
Our mission is to offer high quality psychotherapy and pastoral counseling to individuals, couples, and families; we assist persons who seek relief from suffering and help them bring new healing and hope to their lives.
During this spring campaign, please remember that we are a not-for-profit mental health counseling center and that your contribution directly supports treatment for those in need. Please become, or become again, a partner for change with the Samaritan Counseling Center of the Mohawk Valley, Inc.

Give us a call; we can help.
When you call, our staff will guide you through the intake process. You will need to fill out a brief intake form. Once it is returned to our office, a staff therapist will call to set up the first appointment.
In addition to learning more about you, your therapist will go over important center policies with you.
Fees will also be discussed. Many insurance companies cover outpatient psychotherapy which will assist in the cost of our services. A sliding fee scale is used for individuals without insurance coverage and will be calculated based on total household income and number of dependents.
