Counseling Services provides
a full range of therapeutic, diagnostic and counseling
services for adults and children utilizing individual,
group and family modalities. Clients are seen on an as-needed
basis with a concentration on brief, solution focused
treatment.
Each client participates in an admission assessment, treatment
plan, and discharge planning. Psychiatric evaluations are
offered and scheduled as determined by the clinical assessment.
A part of every clinical assessment is an assessment for
substance use. Clients who receive a primary substance diagnosis
are assigned to our Addictions Program and are treated by
certified chemical dependency counselors and master’s
level clinicians. The program also provides co-occurring
counseling services for clients who have both a substance
abuse and mental health disorder. Clients needing more intensive
outpatient substance treatment are referred to primary substance
treatment facilities who maintain affiliation agreements
with our center.
We provide services at various locations and have flexible
hours, including evening appointments. |
