Affordable Counseling

Family Service is committed to providing affordable counseling and ensuring that every individual and family who needs help receives appropriate and timely care, regardless of ability to pay.

We provide all of our counseling services (with the exception of our Child-Parent Relationship Training workshop) on a sliding fee scale that uses your income level and family size to determine a fee for counseling based on your needs.

Health insurance is not required to receive counseling at Family Service. If you do have insurance, it may cover all or part of your counseling services.

Child-Parent Relationship Enrichment

A strong parent-child relationship is the foundation for your child’s future success. However, sometimes being a parent can leave you frustrated and pulled in many directions with little time to focus on your child or your relationship.

Child-Parent Relationship Enrichment is a research-based approach to teaching parents of 3 to 9 year-old children how to understand and meet their children’s emotional needs through one of children’s most essential communication tools: play.

In weekly workshops, we teach parents the same strategies that therapists use to help children express themselves and cope with problems. You will practice what you are learning by planning 30 minute special playtimes with your child(ren). We provide Flip video cameras to help you capture special moments and self-evaluate how well you are implementing the strategies. The atmosphere is friendly, accepting and interactive, making it enjoyable and interesting.

In Child-Parent Relationship Enrichment…

  • You, the parent, will learn how to:
    • improve communication with your child(ren)
    • limit and discipline inappropriate behavior
    • recognize your child’s emotional needs
    • build your child’s self-confidence and creativity
  • Your children will:
    • discover their own strengths
    • reduce tensions, feelings and burdens
    • develop the ability for self-control and self-responsibility
    • feel capable, understood and accepted
