DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Outpatient Assessment, Counseling and Referral Services

Outpatient assessment and counseling services at Integrative Counseling Solutions, Inc. (ICSI) 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 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.
