Children & Youth Counseling - Throughout a child's life, they look for support in many different ways. This can sometimes include working with a therapist for individual therapy, family therapy, trauma or abuse counseling, skills training and medication management. An early start for children in need can make a huge difference for their future. At CCMH we offer a variety of ways to work with children to best suits their needs, including Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Play Therapy, Child Parent Psychotherapy and Group Therapy.
Child Centered Play Therapy - Play therapy provides a way for children to express their experiences through a natural, self-determined process. As children's experiences are communicated through play, it becomes an important way for them to feel empowered, and accept themselves and others. Play therapy skills are often taught to parents through a process called Filial Therapy. Play therapy is often a child-directed process but can also be structured to fit the child's social and emotional needs.
Family Therapy - The family therapy treatment approach teaches families healthy ways to interact with each other and emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. Family therapy assists with learning how to talk to each other and respect each other. Parents learn positive parenting skills such as giving effective praise while ignoring behaviors they find annoying or loud. Parents also learn to give effective commands and consistent consequences in response to disruptive or aggressive behaviors.

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.
