Services Offered
PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES
Individual Therapy A therapist will work with you individually to understand your concerns and assist you in problem resolution or symptom management. Therapeutic modalities will include Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Strategic and Family Therapy, among others. Our nine therapists have a wide range of skills and specialties.
Couples Therapy A therapist will work with you and your partner to understand the issues causing difficulty in your partnership. This active process will assist you in finding the problematic patterns in your relationship and find effective solutions. There may be times during the course of couples therapy that the therapist will request to meet with each of you individually.
Family Therapy Similar to couples therapy, family therapy is a process that will uncover the problematic patterns within the family. The therapist will work with you together or with specific family members.
Group Therapy Group therapy is a therapeutic modality that allows group members to work together in the understanding and assimilation of new healthy behaviors. Palo Santo will offer a variety of groups throughout the year. Groups may last from 4 weeks to 8 weeks depending on the subject matter and group process. Groups will be located under 'Special Offerings'.
Substance Abuse Groups will focus on 1) Parents with children/adult children suffering with substance abuse and addiction 2) Education about the opioid crisis and opiate abuse/addiction, 3) Grieving the loss of a loved one due to addiction/overdose.

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.
