The adolescent years between 13 and 19 are a transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. The staff at Desert View recognize how important this stage of life is. The physical and psychological changes that adolescents face can both be a time of disorientation and discovery. This transitional period is where children start focusing on becoming more independent and establishing their own identity. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that adolescents engage in risky behavior such as experimenting with drugs, alcohol or sexual promiscuity.

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