A respected nonprofit agency, Regional Mental Health Center has successfully provided mental health care management and treatment for clients with a variety of mental illness disorders for more than 40 years. We work exclusively with adults, teens and youth age six and older who need mental health services, behavior health services and substance abuse programs.
Regional Mental Health's outpatient mental health counseling is provided for individuals, couples and families of all ages by our professional staff of psychologists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors and psychiatrists.
Problem Gambling Addiction counseling services are also available for adults and clients as young as eight years old. Group sessions may range from six to twelve sessions, while individual sessions are arranged to fit the client's schedule and can last as long as six months. Our state endorsed gambling treatment providers are licensed addiction professionals. Thanks to state funding, Regional is able to offer gambling addictions services on a sliding fee scale, making them affordable to all those in need.
Also offered are groups such as: * Parenting education * Groups for men, women and children * Substance abuse and aftercare-relapse prevention groups * Problem solving groups
Expert psychological evaluations can measure the client's intellectual and emotional functioning level to determine the most effective type of therapy. Therapists engage in play therapy with young children to help them deal with attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, anxiety, depression and abuse. In addition, therapists work with families to support the children's development.

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.
