Outpatient Counseling Services


If you are encountering stress or emotional difficulties while carrying on your normal life, counseling sessions can help ease the strain. Sometimes a problem can be resolved by talking with a friend, family member or a member of the clergy. But if the problem is severely distressing or show no signs of improving, it is best to talk to a trained professional therapist.

You may want to deal with problems encountered at home, at work or in school. You may be troubled by depression, anxiety, stress-related physical symptoms, lack of confidence, reliance on drugs or alcohol, physical or emotional abuse in the present or in the past, sudden changes in mood or behavior, or other problems. Whatever your difficulty is, it deserves attention.

Inpatient Services


Sometimes emotional problems become so severe that a person cannot carry out normal, everyday activities alone. Hospitalization usually is necessary in such a case.

The short-term intensive treatment offered by CMHC's Inpatient Unit allows individuals to recover in a therapeutic environment and learn new ways to solve problems. The warm, homelike setting and the help of qualified staff enable clients to return to home and community as quickly as possible. Most clients who seek inpatient treatment do so voluntarily, and CMHC, Inc., works to safeguard clients' confidentiality.

For information, or to make a referral, call (812) 537-1302.
