Many of our clients, and subsequently their families, face mental health challenges secondary to primary diagnoses, listed above. We believe that the trust and care we build with our families will naturally extend to the realm of counseling. We are looking forward to providing this support to our clients and their families. When it is appropriate as determined by the counselor and families, we are excited to collaborate and incorporate counselor recommendations into our other therapies. Ideally, families would be able to seek assistance for themselves and their children in individual, family and group therapies.
