About the Financial Recovery Institute
In 1998, Karen McCall founded the Financial Recovery Institute to train
and certify financial counseling professionals in the methods she developed
and honed over twenty years in practice. Her graduates have gone on to
create successful practices of their own; some have been profiled in
publications such as Woman’s Magazine, Newsday, and
Money Magazine.
The overall goal of the Financial Recovery Institute is to train professional
counselors to help individuals and families form new relationships with
money that are healthy and secure. The purpose of counselors is to help
clients understand their relationships to money, confront their self-defeating
money behaviors, and develop the financial tools, knowledge, and skills
necessary to building or re-building solid financial lives.
The Financial Recovery Institute publishes a number of tools used by
individuals and re-licensed by financial professionals for use with their
own clients: the MoneyMinder® Workbook, MoneyMinder® Express
software, and the Cash Tracker.
