LifeSpring is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit Community Mental Health Center which began as a small outpatient clinic for children in the city of Jeffersonville, Indiana in 1964.
LifeSpring provides comprehensive services to children ages 0-17. Our staff is trained in addressing the unique challenges our young people face. If you need extra help with your child, call our office today. Being a parent is tough, and sometimes you may need help with your children. Sometimes, parents don't know if they need additional help. Some signs which may indicate your child needs additional help, include:
* Has problems at school or disobeys rules at home; * Has problems eating or sleeping; * Shows sudden changes in mood or behavior, or is frequently angry or aggressive; * Has strange thoughts or feelings or exhibits unusual behavior; * Isolates from others or has few friends; * Appears not to have a conscience; * Mentions or attempts suicide; * Uses drugs or alcohol; * Lies or steals; * Has attempted or threatened to run away.
Whatever the situation, LifeSpring can assist your family in determining the best way to help your child. Call your local LifeSpring office to set up a comprehensive assessment, and help your child be on the road to recovery.
Assessment
Trained LifeSpring staff work with clients to determine what their needs are and help clients determine the best way to address them.
Individual Outpatient Treatment
Clients work one-on-one with a LifeSpring therapist or care manager to address their needs, set goals, and work towards their recovery.
Individual Outpatient Group
Clients work together in a group, facilitated by a LifeSpring therapist or care manager to learn new skills, and to learn from and support each other.
Medical Services
Appropriate clients are referred to psychiatrists for a psychiatric assessment, and to determine if medication will aid in their recovery. Additionally, LifeSpring employs a staff of licensed nurses who work with clients to address their concerns about medication, nutrition and other healthcare issues.

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.
