THE DIRECTION SERVICE DIFFERENCE:
Our program is a highly respected agency for a reason-we hire outstanding therapists and maintain the highest level of professional standards and practices possible.
With the exception of medication management, we are a full-service mental health program that provides outpatient services to individuals and families across the life span. Our services include behavioral health counseling for individuals, families, and groups in both the agency and community settings.
Our work is evidence-based, strength based, and collaborative in nature. Our clients are in control of their own counseling journey as we guide them utilizing our expertise and a wide range of resources to help them reach their goals. Each person's aspirations and inherent strengths are integral to treatment planning. Ultimately, our focus is on helping individuals achieve greater life satisfaction and wellness in all facets of their lives. We believe this is a critical goal for our staff to hold as well.
