Services Offered
Behavioral Health - We offer a comprehensive range of services and supports for people with mental health, substance abuse, intellectual and developmental disabilities and co-occurring disorders.
Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities - Our network expands from toddler-to-senior services, with supports that are tailored to the unique abilities and needs of each person. All of our services are integrated within various communities to maximize opportunities and growth for our participants.
Mental Health Outpatient Treatment - Outpatient treatments, which are offered to both children and adults, are guided by the use of recovery based approaches and evidence-based treatments. These approaches include the implementation of the most promising approaches for individuals who are diagnosed with a behavioral health illness. Intervention strategies attempt to alleviate the person's symptoms and improve their overall quality of life. A person's potential for growth and recovery is emphasized and the goals of the person drive the treatment plan.
Substance Abuse Treatment - Treatment services for substance abuse or dependency disorders are offered to both children and adults and can be provided as traditional outpatient or intensive outpatient services. Traditional outpatient services involve a combination of group and individual therapy, typically held on a weekly basis. Intensive outpatient services exist for individuals with more extensive needs and interventions entail approximately nine hours of group and individual sessions a week, typically divided across three days. A co-occurring disorder (COD) group exists for individuals experiencing both substance issues and mental health disorders to more effectively meet their needs. At least one group is conducted in Spanish to address the needs of the Latino community.
Early Intervention (EI) - Holcomb provides early intervention services to children between the ages of 0 and 3 years when there are developmental delays or deficits impacting their functioning. Services can include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, feeding interventions and special instruction. A comprehensive intervention plan is developed to address the multiple needs of the child and his/her family.
Psychiatric Rehabilitation - are designed to assist individuals, age 18 and older with functional disabilities resulting from mental illness, to experience more success and satisfaction in the environments of their choice while promoting functional independence. Psychiatric rehabilitation programs are founded on the principles of consumer choice, recovery principles and the active involvement of consumers in their rehabilitation.

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