Crisis Counseling
Crisis services may be available at our office, but often, they're needed elsewhere. We maintain a 24/7, 365-day on-call schedule for crisis support. Our counselors who respond to crises meet the standards of a Mental Health Professional (MHP) as set by the Department of Human Services/Division of Mental Health and outlined in Medicaid Rule 132.
Services
At our community mental health center, outpatient counseling stands out as the service many people first consider. Our compassionate professionals offer these sessions weekly or bi-weekly. Alongside counseling, we provide a range of additional support services, including group sessions, case management, and community support.
Outpatient Counseling
Join our weekly Relapse Prevention Group, offering extra support for individuals with Substance Use Disorder. Many have found this group helpful, especially those undergoing outpatient treatment. Additionally, our Wellness Recovery Action Program is available twice a year, spanning ten weeks.
Explore personalized autism support at our facility. Our compassionate team provides specialized counseling and workshops tailored to empower individuals on the autism spectrum. Experience a welcoming environment designed for growth and independence.
