Services Offered
Couples Therapy - All relationships have their ups and downs, and certainly come with their own set of challenges. When push comes to shove we tend to lash out at the ones we love most, or we make exceptions that we normally would never make. Couples therapy and relationship counseling is an important step to take in mending your relationship.
Issues addressed in couples counseling: * Financial concerns * Unemployment * Sexual issues * Violence in the home * An affair * Loneliness and unhappiness * Challenges with children * Anger and resentment * Opposing parenting styles * Physical, emotional or mental abuse * Substance abuse * Trust issues * Anxiety or depression
Family Therapy - A form of counseling designed to work with family members to improve relationships and resolve conflicts and issues. Some family therapy includes all family members while in other cases it may make sense to involve just particular members. It may not be necessary for each family member to be present during each session. Your counselor will work with your family to create a schedule and solution that works for everyone involved.
Common issues and concerns to address: * Marital issues * Sibling issues * Conflicts among family members * Teenage disrespect * Anger * Adoption * Violence or physical abuse * Substance abuse * Divorce and separation issues * Blended families * Mental illness
Individual Therapy - In individual therapy, we address a wide variety of issues in an effort to help you better understand and manage your behaviors and emotions. We work with you to create goals and an individualized plan to help you achieve your goals in what a better life looks like. While medication may sometimes be part of the solution, it's not where we start. We take a versatile approach to improving your outlook on life and use a number of therapies based on your specific needs.
Group Therapy - Typically our groups are made up of five to eight people who are facing similar challenges as well as one or more counselors. The group meets on a weekly basis for a specific time frame and sessions usually last between 60 and 90 minutes. Participants are expected to keep everyone's name confidential outside the group, a responsibility that's taken very seriously.
Specific group Services Offered:* Wellness * Dialectical Behavior Training (DBT) * Adult Anger Management * Life Skills * Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment * Agression Replacement Therapy for Adolescents * Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) * Substance Abuse Treatment

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.
