HOW IT WORKS

INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, COUPLES, GROUP THERAPY

Therapy services are provided by our qualified mental health professionals who are licensed by the State of Kansas to provide mental health services to adults, adolescents, and children. We offer client-centered services for individual, family, couples, and group counseling and offer treatment for such things as depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral problems, relationship issues, stress or trauma, school or work problems, divorce, abuse and domestic violence, pain management or other issues.

Our therapists work with you on needed skills that will help you regain your health and wellness and get back to your day to day life as quickly as possible. Some of the therapy modalities offered include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnotherapy, Play Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and other trauma-informed and solution-focused therapies. We also offer pain management, help with emotional support animals, and therapeutic gardening.

MEDICATION SERVICES

Oftentimes, the combination of therapy and medication will produce the best outcome for treatment of a mental health disorder. Our medication team consists of a psychiatrist and APRN level staff who offer medication assessment to determine the best course of treatment and ongoing medication services.

EMERGENCY CRISIS SERVICES

We provide emergency services 24 hours a day, primarily when there is a need to screen for a possible psychiatric hospitalization. A crisis therapist will respond in a timely manner to all who contact The Center for Counseling for a crisis assessment, seek the least restrictive environment needed for safety of the person in crisis, and offer crisis intervention and follow up services when appropriate.

CHILDREN COMMUNITY BASED SERVICES

Community Based Services (CBS) at The Center include an array of services designed to meet the needs of children ages 3-18 diagnosed with serious emotional disturbance (SED). The services provided include case management, attendant care and psychosocial groups. CBS uses a strengths based approach in working with children and families to identify needs and develop goals to improve behavioral challenges. Services are provided in the home.

Additional services are offered through the Home and Community Based SED Waiver. This Medicaid program is available to children who have greater needs and are at risk of psychiatric hospitalization. To qualify, children must meet clinical and financial eligibility standards established by the state. Those who are determined to be eligible, may receive parent support, wraparound facilitation, attendant care, independent living skill building, and respite care services in addition to CBS services.

CBS operates on the belief that children are successful when they have the services and supports they need to address their behavioral health challenges.

ADULT COMMUNITY SUPPORT SERVICES

Case Managers help adults with serious and persistent mental illnesses learn to live successfully in the community and avoid admission or readmission to a state hospital. Services include Case Management, Psychosocial Groups, Attendant Care, and Peer Support Services.

EVALUATIONS

The Center offers various evaluations that include Psychological & IQ evaluations, Substance Use Evaluations, Pre-Admission Screening & Resident Review (PASRR) to determine need for mental health nursing facility admission, competency to stand trial evaluations for the court, and Department of Transportation (DOT) evaluations.

COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Mental Health is part of every strong community. The Center for Counseling & Consultation develops partnerships with local schools and colleges, hospitals, health departments, social service agencies, nursing homes, the legal system and law enforcement, the state hospital, legislators, and the business community to increase awareness and decrease stigma of mental health access.
