OUR SERVICES

Children, Adolescent & Family Services

SCS provides a variety of services for children, adolescents, and families. Mental Health is important for the overall health of children and adolescents and important to address issues such as depression, anxiety, attentive deficit and feeling of being different.

The Southwest Counseling Service Early Childhood Intervention Program is designed to provide mental health services to children in their natural school environment.

This program provides support for children ages 3 to 6 who are struggling emotionally or socially. Children will be seen by a licensed therapist and a trained case manager. They will conduct classroom interventions to measure the progress and skills learned.

Children will be part of play therapy and self-esteem play groups to measure skills in a natural environment. Parents and/or caregivers are supported throughout the process and given ideas for how to help their child succeed. The Early Childhood Intervention Program also provides training for school teachers, aids, and administrators on how to deal with certain emotional, social or behavioral concerns.

“Patricia Swan-Smith was an excellent therapist. She went so far out of her way to try to help my daughter. My daughter is unable to hold herself accountable for anything, and is incredibly resentful of those who try to get her to address unhealthy behaviors. I could not have asked for more from a therapist.”
