Individual Counseling: Sometimes we all need a little help. Individual counseling helps explore and resolve issues that aren't getting better on their own. Patients work with a therapist to learn methods of coping and overcoming difficulties in their lives.
Family Counseling: Family counseling is useful in a number of scenarios, such as, creating better relationships within a family, or on a specific circumstance like divorce or the loss of a family member.
Child/Adolescent Counseling: Child or Adolescent counseling can help to resolve problems or disorders that can impede a child or adolescent's development, as well as, address difficulties that can potentially trigger emotional or symptoms resulting in trauma for the child or adolescent, parents, and family.
School-Based Behavioral Health: The purpose of school-based services is to work directly and collaboratively with schools to deliver school-based behavioral health tailored to student needs. These services are for a student whose behavioral and/or emotional challenges compromise his or her ability to attend to learning activities.

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.
