Mental Health Services & Therapies

Counseling can be what you want it to be. But let’s set the record straight on what it’s not.

Myth 

“It’s expensive.”

Fact 

Mental health care is health care. A variety of funding options are also available through Community Mental Health Centers to individuals who are assessed as needing treatment services. Funding options include:

• Insurance
• Private pay
• Other third-party payers
• A combination of state and federal funding
• Medicaid

Myth 

“If I have a substance use disorder, I just need detox.”

Fact 

For some, that may be true. But for many living with a substance use disorder, underlying issues or co-occurring mental health disorders often contribute. Therapy can help with what’s under the surface.

Myth 

“Everyone will know I’m seeing a therapist.”

Fact 

Therapists and counselors abide by strict confidentiality rules. Your privacy is protected by law, and confidentiality is only broken if someone’s life is in danger.
