Services Offered
Services are provided through prevention, intervention, counselling, case management and referrals to appropriate levels of service in a client-centered environment in a manner that enhances the quality of life and promotes human dignity.
Fees and Payment
This is a non-profit agency
No individual is denied services for financial reasons. Fees are based on your ability to pay.
A sliding fee scale, based on gross household income and number of members in the household, is used to determine client fees.
Insurance programs often include behavioral health benefits. If you have medical insurance it may cover all or part of the cost.
In addition, we accept Medicare, Medicaid, Mastercard and Visa.
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.
