If you are searching for a counselor in the community for your child or family, below is a list of a few community resources you may find helpful. You can also find referrals from your child's pediatrician, by calling your insurance, or through your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) if you have one. Please make sure to do your due diligence and make sure that the counselor is someone you feel is the right fit for your family.
