Services

Who are we?

• We are a team of licensed mental health professionals and life skills practitioners who provide counseling and skills services in our office, homes, schools and community settings
• Our team members bring a wide array of experience from past and present work in child and family serving agencies
• We work closely with professionals in Community Corrections and Social Services on behalf of families and children.

Who do we serve?

• Families with children at risk for out-of-home placements or in need of transitional services following a placement
• Children on probation or at risk of entering correctional systems
• Children who struggle with emotional and behavioral disorders, including depression and anxiety
• Children who have difficulties in school settings and with truancy
• Families who need community support
• Children with problematic antisocial patterns of behavior
• Children who have experienced abuse, neglect and other forms of trauma.

How do we work?

• Therapy and skills services are provided in least restrictive settings (home and community based)
• Parents and primary care givers are equal partners in treatment planning
• Assessments include a description of strengths and needs in all areas of functioning (i.e. family, school, peer group, community etc.)
• Treatment plans are individualized to meet unique developmental needs of families and children
• Therapists and skills practitioners work to improve relationships between parents/primary care givers and children
• Practitioners coordinate services between formal and informal support systems to meet diverse needs of families and children.

What are the benefits?

• Interventions in natural settings are cost effective and promote long lasting change
• Sessions are scheduled around needs of families (i.e. working parents and children in school)
• Therapists combine solid clinical skill with creativity and compassion to help families in difficult situations
• Studies prove that multisystemic interventions are more effective than traditional methods for families with complex needs. (Dr. Scott Henngeler, Family Services Research Center, University of South Carolina).

Working with a counselor:

• We gather insurance information (usually medical assistance or prepaid medical assistance, PMAP's) for home based services
• Practitioners are assigned based on individual and family needs
• You have the option to pay cash if you do not wish to go through insurance.
