Services Offered
* Individual Therapy for All Ages * Group Therapy * Psychiatry * Substance Use Disorder Therapy * Suicide Prevention Education and Training
Individual Services - Individual therapy allows the client an opportunity to explore and resolve personal problems in a one-to-one setting. The approach is usually intensive, brief, solutions-focused, with short-term goals, decision making, or reducing the effects of a symptom. Outcomes are based on measurable goals.
Group Therapy - Group therapy allows clients to share their personal and interpersonal problems in a group setting where feedback can be given and received among group members. Through this process, clients have the opportunity to develop support systems, rehearse new ways to interact with others, and recognize the impact of their behavior on themselves and others.
Family Therapy - Our family services help families cope with the challenges of emotional disturbances and mental illness within members of the family. Our family therapy services provide direct and meaningful contact within the family on a regular basis, and helps with family conflicts.
Psychiatric Services - Our psychiatric staff conduct psychiatric evaluations to assess a person's need for medications. These services are available for prescriptions, medication adjustment, and monitoring. In addition clients are educated in proper medication usage, intended benefits and adverse effects of medications, and on the importance of consistency in taking medications to control the symptoms of mental illness.
Substance Use Services - The substance use program is designed to treat adults with substance abuse problems, with a focus on education and therapy around substance abuse issues, life skills training, and relationship issues.

If You Call, Please Let Us Know How it Went:
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.
