Counseling Services
*Individual Therapy One of our highest priorities at Selah is offering individuals a safe, professional, and supportive environment to address life's challenges. What you can expect from individual therapy sessions at Selah is an open approach to working through issues directly associated with how you function as an individual in relationships.
*Group Therapy Group therapy is an opportunity to take what you have experienced and learned in life or individual therapy and apply it to relationships with others who are equally committed to growth and change. Group therapy can be the most challenging yet often the most rewarding endeavor in facilitating the therapeutic process.
*Family Therapy Families are the crucible of life. All of us come from a family and there are many adjectives to describe them. A few are: intact, dysfunctional, functional, fun, faithful, formal, rigid, safe, abusive, disconnected, enmeshed, flexible, and the like. Family is the place we learn rules, roles, habits, value, competency, a sense of belonging, and how to cope with life as we know it. Sometimes the rules we learn, the roles we adopt, or the habits we develop impair our relationships. Family therapy is a safe respectful way to look at a family's dynamics and work towards making a home in which members want to live and be a part of.

One quick last question. Who was seeking counseling today?
Do you know the reason they are not accepting clients?
Qualifying for assistance from California's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to California'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.
