Families - Sometimes something feels wrong inside a family, and even though everybody tries to make it better, nothing works. Nobody is happy. You are at the end of your rope and you know it's time to get help. There are different possible causes for this level of family stress: * At times one person may be having so much trouble that it spills over onto everyone else * Other times, the family is facing a big change and is having trouble adjusting to it * And sometimes the whole family is traumatized by an overwhelming event
What we know is that when a family is struggling, we need to figure out how best to help. What we do is carefully tailor our treatment recommendations to the unique needs of each family. We might suggest working with just one member, or with the parents, or with the entire family. No matter which path we take, our goal is to help the whole family.
Parents - Parenting in today's world is not easy. So many different things can cause problems with kids and create stress for you. Sometimes you can feel confused, worried overwhelmed, or completely alone. Some difficulties are shared by all parents. Certain stresses are entirely unique to you and your family. And other problems are common to certain family styles (e.g. two-parent families, single parent families, joint custody, and step or blended families). There are many other family styles that have their unique problems as well - such as adoptive families, foster families, grandparents raising grandchildren, military families, and more.
Because parents are the leaders of the family, everything gets better when you can assume your role with wisdom, confidence and love. We know that you want the best for your children. Sometimes all you need is an objective third party who can understand your situation and help you be the loving effective parent that you want to be.
Couples - Your relationship matters a lot to you but you are struggling so much that you don't know if you can make it work anymore. The two of you either argue or slip into uncomfortable silence. You feel really disconnected. You have a hard time finding those feelings of love. It's not that you don't want things to get better between you - it's just that you haven't been able to make that happen. You haven't given up yet, but you're so tired of hiding your problems and putting on a good front for everyone.
A couple relationship is like a two-person kayak. Paddling can be tough to coordinate. It's even worse if the water is rough. When both people are paddling really hard, but out of sync, it's frustrating. You get nowhere fast. If only one person is paddling, you can move forward, but it's exhausting and very slow.
What we'd like to do is help you find your rhythm together as a couple - so you can enjoy being on the water together and so you can get to where you both really want to go. We can partner with you to help you rebuild your relationship. Your life together can actually become the sanctuary you both want.
Adults - At times, mounting troubles can make you feel frantic. You might be distressed at how unsafe you feel, how worried you are, or how much sleep you are losing. Other times, difficulties can make you feel really angry. You might be surprised at how loud or intense you get, or how often you fly off the handle. And you might even notice people around you sometimes get alarmed. Or there could be times when unresolved troubles can make you feel depressed. You might be weighed down by how hopeless you feel, how tired you are, or how empty life seems.
What we know is that it's almost always possible to find your way through hard times and get your life back. What we do is help you handle the stresses of life in ways that fit and work for you. We create a space where: * Your thoughts and feelings matter * You can freely talk about what's happening * Deeper understanding can unfold; and * New possibilities can open up
Teens - Are you feeling pressured about school? About friends? About the future? Does it feel like you don't have any real friends? Does being around your family irritate you so much that you find ways to avoid them or block them out? Is it impossible to relate to your parents? Do they just not get you? Do you sometimes get so caught up in the moment that later you regret what you've done or said? Do you have to lie to keep people off your back? Does it seem like nobody cares and nobody understands how you feel?
Teen years can be like a rollercoaster ride, and sometimes that ride gets too wild. What we know is that with extra support you can survive the ride and even have fun and then start laying down solid tracks for your future.
Children - Sometimes a child hits a really rough patch in life. (Some kids seem to be in rough places a lot.) If your child is struggling in a rough place, you may be struggling too - you might be feeling worried or overwhelmed. At times like these you don't have to handle it all alone. Outside support can make such a difference for your child - and for you too!
One of the supports TCC offers is play therapy. We know that this kind of therapy can be a big help to stuggling children. Through play therapy, children express their life as they see it, as they fear it, as they experience it, and as they enjoy it. Through play therapy children may: * Decrease problem behaviors * Learn constructive ways to handle anger or fear * Improve relationships both at home and at school * Gain confidence in expressing themselves * Grow in self-esteem
Just like you, we want your children to be free to flourish. We partner with parents to help children get back on track.
Grandparents - Sometimes being a grandparent doesn't turn out the way you expected. The world is so different now. Difficulties can arise that you never imagined. For instance: * You might be worried about the way your grandchildren are being raised. Nothing you've tried has helped, and you just don't know what to do anymore * Or perhaps you are feeling pressured and taken advantage of by children or grandchildren who are expecting too much from you * Or maybe you are in the painful situation of being cut-off from your grandchildren because of strained relationships between adults, such as a messy divorce * Or it could be that, due to circumstances you could not control, you chose to take on the important responsibility of raising your children's children
What we know is that, no matter what the challenges are, you can always find ways to both take care of yourself and care for the ones you love. What we do is join you in finding your own deepest wisdom about what matters most and what to do next.

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.
