Cardinal Point Counseling is pleased to offer new service opportunities. Existing clients can take advantage of these offerings, but do not lose out on or need to change anything they are already doing. This is as of 10/22/2022 and is subject (but not planned) to change in the future. Some of these are not new, but many of them are.
