COST OF SERVICES
We accept Medicaid, and your group health insurance may pay for part of
the services. If not otherwise covered, we do charge a fee for
counseling services based on a sliding scale according to family income
and size. During your initial visit we will ask for financial
information and you will be told exactly what the services will cost.
LENGTH OF SERVICES
This depends on several things - the nature of your family’s concerns
and how hard your family works to solve the difficulties. Overcoming a
personal or emotional problem is a lot of work. The counselor can give
your family the tools, but the work must be done by you.
