History
Founded in 1997 by James R. Varrell, MD, CFG Health Network began with a mission to serve the behavioral health needs of individuals, families, and communities. Center for Family Guidance, PC, is dedicated to providing the highest quality behavioral health services to individuals, families and organizations. At the same time, CFG Residentials was established to address the behavioral health needs of youth in the community.
Center for Family Guidance, PC
We achieve this through our experienced and compassionate staff, the convenience and accessibility of our practice, and an unwavering commitment to the belief that success in relationships is the foundation for personal well-being. In addition to our outpatient services, CFG extends behavioral health services to hospitals, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP), schools, community service organizations, and more.
Since 1999, Center for Family Guidance, PC has been at the forefront of telebehavioral health in New Jersey. Founder and Medical Director Dr. Jim Varrell performed the nation’s first commitment via telepsychiatry and has been a leading advocate for the appropriate use of telepsychiatry to enhance access to care. In 2008, Array Behavioral Care was established after providing services for over a decade as a component of the Center for Family Guidance, PC and its partner companies, and CFG Health Network.
Today, Array is the largest telepsychiatry service provider in the nation, having entered a new partnership with Harbour Point Capital. Array and the CFG Health Network continue collaborating, offering onsite and telehealth services to partners in various care settings.
CFG Residentials, LLC
This effort became more specialized when CFG partnered with the New Jersey Juvenile Justice Commission. This partnership created The Concept Program which was designed for emotionally disturbed children assigned to the New Jersey Training School for Boys located in Jamesburg, NJ.
As CFG evolved, more programs were added. In January of 2006, the Insight and Excel programs were created. These programs gave our CFG family a unique footprint in behavioral health through the quality of service and commitment to a common cause. The logical progression of all these focused efforts is the formation of an organization that is solely devoted to superior clinical services delivered in a residential setting.
On January 1, 2011, CFG Residentials, LLC was formed to embody and carry forth the collective mission of these needed and unique services. We now are positioned to promote our mission statement and core values. CFG Residentials, LLC allows us to have our own identity while still remaining connected to the CFG Health Network.
