Reaching across the life span...

Life is full of challenges, transitions and adjustments, no matter how young or old you are. The issues you face may change significantly over a lifetime, but your need for care, concern and understanding remains constant.

 

Supporting children and strengthening families...

The challenges of growing up can be overwhelming for children and teens faced with emotional, behavioral or family problems. Our child and family therapists have the experience to help children identify what's affecting them and to work with the family to resolve issues and improve relationships.

We work with problems including:

• Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHD
• Poor school performance
• Social/friendship difficulties
• Troubled family relationships
• Phobias and fears
• Behavioral problems
• Aggressive or self-destructive behaviors
• Alcohol and other drug problems
• Other emotional and psychological issues

Shaping young lives through the power of prevention...

Giving our children the ability to build a better future means empowering them with information and skills to face tough issues, make sound choices and practice healthy behaviors. That's the power of prevention. Prevention services provided in northwest area schools and community settings include:

• Work with small groups
• Crisis response
• Teacher and Guidance Counselor consultation
• Teacher and Parent workshops

We also offer many parent education and support groups including:

• Parenting teens
• Single parenting
• Parenting after a divorce
• Parenting in blended families
• Parenting Children with behavioral issues

Helping adults achieve results...

Seeking the help of a professional therapist can be the answer to resolving tough issues and getting your life back on track - often with only a few counseling sessions. We can help you deal with difficult issues such as:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Emotional, physical or sexual abuse
• Loss and grief
• Previous trauma
• Life transitions
• Alcohol or other drug problems
• Other emotional and psychological issues

Reaching out to older adults...

As we age, physical and emotional issues often affect daily living. Our Older Adults Program can give you the help and support you need to meet those challenges.

We offer assessment, counseling and help for older adults and their families with adjustments, transitions and losses. Our home-based supportive services help with practical issues such as making decisions about living arrangements, accessing help with transportation, household chores and errands, and handling various activities of daily living.

Special services include:

• In-home and office-based assessment, counseling and supportive services
• Caregiver Consultation offering support and guidance for family caregivers
• Low vision and widowhood support groups
