Outpatient assessment and counseling services are based upon developing a trusted relationship between the client and mental health professional. These services are provided by Licensed Independent Social Workers (LISW) or Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC). This process begins with a complete assessment to accurately determine the therapeutic needs of the client. Together, the client and the therapist develop a treatment plan to meet the therapeutic needs of the individual. With consent of the client, other involved persons may be asked to participate in treatment. These services are provided to individuals, families and groups.

School based mental health services include assessment, individual therapy, and counseling, skill developments and referral services within the school setting. Research provides that early identification and regular and consistent intervention with the school setting is effective in treating student mental health issues. Our professionals are committed to working collaboratively with parents, school staff and any other professionals to surround the student with quality care within their school environment.

The Partners Program is a strengths based program which creates alliances within communities, schools, and families to increase children’s strengths in all aspects of their lives. Our LISW and LMHC professionals also meet the criteria to be Licensed Professionals of the Healing Arts (LPHA) and provide assessment services for children funded by Medicaid funds.

The Partners Program works with children and families to help them; learn how to identify individual strengths, identify thoughts, feelings and triggers to the child’s behaviors, learn problem solving, communications and skill skills as well as relaxation, coping an conflict resolutions skills. Master’s level trained caseworkers help families gain extra support in getting through

life’s challenges. By addressing challenging behaviors and collaboration with home and school, the Partners Program can help children get back on track and succeed at home and school.
