Counseling Services - call (937) 222-9481

Nearly half of all Americans will experience the symptoms of a mental illness at some point in life. If it happens to you or your family, you are not alone. Each year, Family Services’ professional and courteous counseling staff provide hundreds of individuals, couples and families with confidential counseling within a safe environment, to address a wide range of concerns.

Counseling is available for individuals or families affected by physical, verbal, emotional or sexual abuse and neglect; eating disorders; trauma; drug use and other addictions; anxiety disorders; divorce and life transitions; anger; stress management; communication problems, and phase of life issues. Specialized counseling services are also available for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing, isolated seniors and crime victims.

Our counseling services promote health and wellbeing among participants, and encourage utilization of responsible behaviors, non-violence and feelings management. Family Services utilizes the Ecological Theory framework as our best practice counseling model. This model helps individuals understand that no one is an island, but is part of a much broader system, where the individual affects their environment and the environment affects the individual.

Services are available for families, individuals, couples and groups by appointment, weekdays and evenings, Monday through Friday. With some weekend and same day appointments available. First appointments with counseling staff generally take 90 minutes to complete, with staff working with you to identify individual needs and answer questions you might have about the counseling process.
