The Village Network is an experienced, multi-discipline behavioral health organization helping youth and families become resilient, healthy and have brighter futures.
Services Offered
Outpatient Behavioral Health - Our Outpatient Behavioral Health program is designed to evaluate a broad spectrum of psychological and neuropsychological disorders. We work to relieve emotional distress and functional difficulties through psychotherapy and other behavioral strategies in treating youth and their families who may suffer from: * Mood Disorders such as Depression, Bipolar Disorders * Anxiety or Prior Trauma Induced Disorders * Restlessness and Sleep Disorders * Eating Disorders: Anorexia, Bulimia, Overeating * Impulse-Control and Drug-Use/Abuse Disorders * Personality Disorders
Day Treatment - Day treatment programs at The Village Network provide youth ages 7 to 18 years of age with nonresidential services to help them address their trauma-related issues. This program is designed for youth who require more than the conventional outpatient level of care but do not need the security of a locked residential treatment center or 24-hour care. This trauma recovery program uses group therapy, psychopharmacology, psychoeducation and individual therapy to help at-risk youth.
The mental health issues we treat may include: * Post Traumatic Stress Disorder * Depression * Dissociation * Self-mutilation (cutting) * Dysregulation * Impulsiveness * Isolation from family and friends * Irritability and anger * Anxiety * Thoughts of suicide or homicide * Distress tolerance difficulties * Sleep disturbance * Interpersonal conflict
School-Based Treatment - School based mental health services aim to improve a student's functioning not only in school, but also in the community and at home. Our goal is to work in partnership with each school and student to improve the child's overall mental health and behavioral functioning as evidenced by an increase in the academic achievement of the student, a decrease in truancy and tardiness, and a reduction in school suspension, risky behaviors and class disruptions. Our services include family, individual, and group therapy.
Intensive In-Home Based Treatment (IHBT) - A short term, specialized intervention program designed for at-risk children and their families in order to promote a stable and healthy family dynamic. The Village Network's IHBT service is a comprehensive service provided to a youth and their families that integrates community psychiatric supportive treatment services, mental health assessment services, crisis response, behavioral health counseling and therapy services, and social services. The goal of IHBT is to help prevent an out-of-home placement or facilitating a successful transition back to home. These intensive mental health services are provided in the home and work to address and improve the mental health functioning of a youth.
Our program offers support services for children and family including: * Delinquent and disruptive behavior * Trauma from neglect and abuse * Depression * Truancy * Alcohol and other drug use * Running away * School learning or misbehaviors * Suicide threats and ideation * Sexually reactive behaviors * Conflicts with authority * Hyperactivity * Physical and verbal aggression * Anger management * Poor decision-making
Fees and Payment
Insurance is accepted. The Village Network also accepts Private Pay clients. A Sliding Fee Scale is available.
In many cases, we can help establish a 6 or 12 month interest-free payment plan.
We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.
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.
