What is the cost?
Children & Families First accepts private insurance including Medicaid. If the individual or family does not have insurance, a sliding fee scale is offered.
What happens after a referral is made?
After an initial assessment is completed, the counselor and client determine whether counseling is appropriate and what kind of services would be most helpful. Services may consist of individual, family, couple, group sessions or some combination. Psychiatric evaluation and medication may be an additional option. The counselor and client work together to develop a treatment plan with measurable objectives.
Are sessions confidential?
We respect the dignity and rights of all clients. All services are strictly confidential. We will not share information without the client’s consent and/or parent or guardian’s consent, unless ordered by the courts or in cases where failure to do so would result in harm to the client or others. Our primary concern is the client’s well being.
