Services Offered
Solution-focused Therapy (6-12 sessions) - You may just need to talk to someone for a few sessions; looking for a therapist's perspective with an issue or you want to get a jump on a struggle before they can get out of hand. In solution-focused therapy we can tackle the problem together by addressing issues such as depression, a marriage conflict, or family issues.
Long-term Therapy - You may have a chronic issue that seems to never go away; in this case, a longer term approach can be effective. By working with a professional therapist on a regular basis, you can overcome a past hurt or long-term problem, such as substance abuse, an eating disorder or past abuse.
Christian counseling - is a form of psychology with enormous benefits. It is much like regular psychological counseling but draws deeply from spiritual roots and guides the person seeking help to look deeper within their faith to better their problems. By using the Bible as one source for behavioral standards, Christian counseling helps individuals resolve life issues and better their relationship with God. Effective Christian counseling is carried out by licensed therapists.

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