Counseling Needs
Persons come for counseling individually, as a couple, or as a family, depending on the needs. Counseling concerns include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship problems, grief, anger, parent-child problems, and addictions. Spiritual needs, questions, and practices are often addressed. If you have questions about other concerns, feel free to call for information.

Cost
A sliding scale is available for those who do not choose to use their medical insurance. The scale is from $60 -100. Each family decides the amount they can afford for the sessions. For those who use their insurance, we can be of assistance in determining coverage for mental health/counseling needs.
