Assessment & Counseling Services programs provide consumers a single point of entry to the agency, crisis response, assessment services, time-limited therapeutic services, and prevention services. Persons with mental disabilities can receive a comprehensive assessment to determine their mental health, mental retardation, and/or substance use services needs, and be referred to the services which best meet those needs. Services are designed to aid consumers in achieving their highest possible level of functioning.

For an initial appointment to determine which of our services may be appropriate for you, please call The Assessment Center.
