Services Offered
Individual and Family Counseling
We believe that therapy is a collaborative process, strength based, with an emphasis on solutions. Everyone desires and needs feedback, guidance, and support throughout their life. Counseling is a healthy and positive way to empower yourself to make changes for the better.
Everyone experiences stress factors in their lives. Individual counseling with a trusted therapist can start the healing process needed to become healthy and productive. Ongoing support is vital for adults, children, youth, parents, and families coping with the emotional, medical, or relationship issues of everyday life. There are many forms of support and therapy for people of all ages. All individual counseling is viewed within the context of the whole family, since one family member experiencing problems can affect other members of the family.
Family counseling involves the whole family or several family members. This approach is used to help families work through and/or adjust to issues and challenges affecting the entire family. It emphasizes family relationships as an important factor in psychological health. We believe involving families in solutions is often beneficial.

Qualifying for assistance from Washington's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Washington's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
