Excellence in Community Mental Health Care since 1951

In 1951, Dr. Irene Josselyn and a group of community-minded mental health professionals founded The North Shore Mental Health Association, one of the first community mental health centers in northern Illinois.  In 1960, the Center was renamed in Dr. Josselyn's honor.

The Josselyn Center has been a pioneer in providing quality mental health services to families and individuals of all socioeconomic backgrounds on Chicago's north shore.  In 1967, the Center moved to its current location in Northfield, Illinois, near Willow Road and the Edens Expressway, where it continues to serve the communities of Bannockburn, Deerfield, Glencoe, Glenview, Golf, Highland Park, Highwood, Kenilworth, Lake Forest, Lincolnshire, Northbrook, Northfield, Riverwoods, Wilmette and Winnetka .

As an integral link in the chain of community based services for these northern suburbs, The Josselyn Center has provided help and hope to over 78,000 individuals in the last 58 years.

The Josselyn Center is a community mental health organization providing individual, family and group counseling for the full range of mental health and substance abuse problems.  We are pleased to offer these services on a sliding fee scale to the people residing, working or attending school in fifteen north suburban Chicago communities. 

Problems of an emotional nature are common yet often misunderstood in today's society.  Individuals and families everywhere are in some way touched by mental illness.  At the Josselyn Center, we provide a confidential, supportive environment in which these issues are understood and treated effectively.  Our focus is on treating the whole person, as well as providing support for the family when necessary.

The Center is unsurpassed in its provision of out-patient mental health services on a sliding scale fee basis.  This means that fees are established on a scale that considers family income and ability to pay. We welcome inquiries about our programs and services.  Call us at 847-441-5600, or email josselyn@josselyn.org
