Mission Services of London is grounded in the Christian faith tradition and belief system. It is the foundation of who we are as an organization, and why we undertake the work that we do. Our core beliefs are rooted in God the Trinity, as expressed in historic Christian doctrine. They are centered in Jesus Christ as the living Word of God and His message found in Scripture.
Although many different spiritual beliefs and Christian denominations are represented within the organization's membership, directors, staff, students, volunteers and clients, Mission Services of London itself is not directly affiliated with any particular Christian denomination or group. We welcome clients from all faith backgrounds without any discrimination or prejudice. There is no imposing of the Christian faith on clients or staff.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
Were You Able to Make an Appointment?
One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
