Services Offered
Outpatient Counseling - Focuses on providing individualized care to utilize various treatment methods to meet an individual's goals. Master's level therapists use a variety of methods that may include individual, couples, family or group therapy. On-site psychiatric services are also available for both evaluation and medicine management purposes. Outpatient counseling is offered in our Butler, Beaver Falls and Cranberry office sites.
School Based Mental Health - Helping children cope with the various stressors in life now teaches them long-term strategies to manage with even larger problems in the future. In addition, if your child is struggling in the school environment, we are able to help bridge the gap by emphasizing a team approach with your child, their Glade Run counselor, their educators and the community. Our goal is to help your child feel their best so they can be their best in all they do. Therapeutic Classrooms - Therapeutic classrooms are offered in public and private schools, assisting teachers by placing therapists in the classrooms to focus on behavioral health issues of students. Essentially, the benefit of a therapeutic classroom for a child with mental health disabilities or autism is that it creates a friendly learning environment for them and their abilities. These students need a classroom that is set up in a therapeutic manner, meaning there is a lot of space and that it is multi-sensory. These students need multiple areas to utilize their learning and special tools and sensory items to get the best possible learning.

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