Work with a certified financial counselor at Centra!
Money can be one of the most empowering parts of life, but it can also be one of the most stressful. Whether you’re just starting out, trying to recover from a financial setback, or planning for a major life event, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or unsure of what steps to take next. That’s where Centra’s certified financial counselors come in!
Your partners in progress
Our financial counselors are here to support you at every stage of your financial journey. They’re not just here for budgeting tips or debt advice. They’re here to help you build healthy, sustainable relationships with your money. Our financial counselors as well as our coaches from Onward have earned the Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) designation from America’s Credit Unions! They truly care about your goals, your story, and your success.
What can a financial counselor help with?
Our counselors are trained and certified to help with a wide range of topics, including:
- Creating a realistic budget that fits your lifestyle and goals.
- Understanding your credit score and building healthy credit habits.
- Managing debt and making a plan to pay it off.
- Setting attainable savings goals for the short or long term.
- Preparing for big purchases, like a home or car.
- Improving your financial confidence, no matter your starting point.
Whatever questions or challenges you’re facing, our counselors’ goal is to help make sense of your options and take actionable steps forward.
Judgement-free support
Let’s be honest. Talking about money isn’t always easy or comfortable. That’s why our financial counselors provide a judgement-free space where you can be open, honest, and supported. Whether you’re feeling anxious about debt or unsure how to kickstart your savings, you’ll be met with understanding, encouragement, and practical guidance, not shame or pressure.
It’s ok to ask questions!
You don’t have to be an expert to take control of your finances. In fact, asking questions is one of the best things you can do. Our financial counselors welcome all types of questions, big or small, because building financial confidence starts with learning and feeling empowered to take the next step.
