The following is a sample of services that may be provided:

Individual and/or Group Counseling - The client and clinician develop a plan to address the clients concerns and outline a program to address behaviors that are creating difficulties for the client and to increase behaviors that support and meet the client needs.  Behavioral goals are set and discussed at each session to monitor the client progress.
