Why use a mental health counselor?

“Recovery is a process, a way of life, an attitude, and a way of approaching the day’s challenges.” -(P.E. Deegan)

Mental health counselors are uniquely qualified to provide high quality care that’s more affordable than other practitioners.  They combine traditional psychotherapy with a practical problem solving approach that creates a dynamic and efficient path for change and problem resolution.  They can help people who may be struggling with mental illness to include depression, anxiety, self-injury, addiction, and trauma.  Clinical mental health counselors are highly skilled professionals who provide a full range of services to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families including:

• Assessment and diagnosis
• Psychotherapy
• Treatment planning and utilization review
• Brief and solution-focused therapy
• Alcoholism and substance abuse treatment
• Psychoeducational and prevention programs
• Crisis management
