| Family and Individual Counseling/ Psychotherapy The Family Service counseling program helps create a short-term plan with adults, children and families so they can begin to deal with behaviors, attitudes or emotions that are causing pain to them or others. Family Service is committed to serving families in crisis or where abuse has occurred. Relationships, parenting, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, and child abuse are a few of the many issues addressed in counseling. Family Service provides all families the opportunity to resolve problems, which is why services are available regardless of the ability to pay. With help from the United Way and community donations, Family Service serves clients through a sliding fee scale. The fee is based on family size and income. The Agency also accepts most insurance plans, Medicaid, and Employee Assistance Programs. Educational, Counseling and Therapy Groups The Agency offers periodic close-ended groups throughout the year based on the needs of the community and the specific Family Service client population. Examples of these are groups for sexual abuse survivors, children of divorce, parents with special-needs children, parenting, and victims of crime and domestic violence groups. HIV/AIDS Therapeutic Support Group is offered for clients. See Groups for more information.
