  • What is a Mental Health Counselor?
    Mental Health Counselors are trained in counseling and psychotherapy to treat individuals with mental and emotional disorders and other behavioral challenges. Mental health counselors address mental health, human relationships, education and career concerns within ethical, developmental, and preventive treatment contexts. Mental health counselors demonstrate a concern for the short- and long-term well-being of individuals, couples, families, groups, and organizations. Mental health counselors are dedicated to the optimal functioning of individuals, families, and organizations. The mental health counselor uses standard mental health assessment and evaluation protocols, develops patient psychosocial histories, writes treatment plans, documents patient progress, facilitates consultation and referral with other providers, and implements discharge plans.

Policy Clients are allowed two no-show appointments before being added to the waitlist for a new appointment with a clinician, skills counselor, or peer support.
