Services Offered
Couples/Conjoint counseling can help you achieve your greatest wellness in your relationship with a partner, spouse, friend, or roommate. Your clinician will provide a comfortable, private, and non-judgmental setting that enables you to explore your goals and concerns and can help you gain important perspectives and skills to improve your relationship. Common topics could include communication and conflict resolution, problem solving, sexual issues, and learning to get needs met in healthy ways. Counseling helps you enhance your relationship or perhaps thoughtfully go your separate ways.
Your first contact will be an assessment with one of our clinicians who will determine the most appropriate services for you, whether off-campus or in our center. Both partners are expected to be present at all counseling sessions. Strong emotions often arise in couples counseling and your clinician will help you tap their power for personal and relational gains.

Qualifying for assistance from Florida's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Florida's program.
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.
