Family Guidance Center is a leading provider of behavioral health services in Saint Joseph and surrounding communities with a 98% female workforce and a strong commitment to empowering women. Led by Co-CEOs Amy Spaeth and Kristina Hannon—both of whom rose through the organization’s ranks—Family Guidance Center is an exceptional workplace for women seeking long-term, meaningful careers. All five department directors and every member of the core leadership team are women, many of whom began in entry-level roles. Employees benefit from generous paid time off, a four-day work week option, and support for ongoing education through tuition reimbursement, CEU assistance, and on-site training. Staff are encouraged to participate in professional development, including practicums and paid observation hours. Many remain involved in community organizations and volunteer service alongside their peers. This includes serving on local advisory groups, coalitions, and in community events to promote positive behavioral health. By fostering a family-friendly, mission-driven culture, Family Guidance Center not only promotes behavioral health in the community—it actively models how women can lead, grow, and thrive.
