• marital distress

• depression and sadness

• anxiety and fear

• mood management

• impulse control

• pre-marital counseling

• personality concerns

• addictive behaviors (sex, substance, and eating)

Professional Services

CityCare offers most outpatient mental health services, including the following:

• Intake Assessment: A review of pertinent biological, psychological, social, emotional, and spiritual history to allow for accurate data for immediate and ongoing diagnostics

• Initial/Working Diagnoses: If indicated, a diagnosis provides a direction for counseling to proceed with evidence-based treatment methods

• Treatment/Planning: Based on the data collected, a treatment plan contains goals and objectives that support the interventions applied to promote change

• Counseling/Therapy: The theories, techniques, methods, ideas, and interventions applied to each objective identified in the treatment plan, which have both familiarity and individuality when applied by different providers

• Termination Counseling: A process of purposefully discontinuing counseling and therapy after goals have been addressed

• Follow-up: Pre-scheduled sessions at specific intervals to assist with ongoing or new changes, or "as-needed" when change occurs or a difficult season arrives

Cost & Payment

Professional counseling fees are determined by one or more factors, but CityCare Counseling and Christ Community Church desire to make these services more accessible to those in need.

Medical/Health Insurance

For those of you with commercial or private insurance, many of our providers are able to accept your benefit, including some Health Savings Accounts (HSA). Depending on the terms of your benefit, counseling is not usually considered a "specialty" and many of our professional counselors are credentialed as in-network providers, which means the co-pay is usually your only out-of-pocket expense. Our staff and providers will assist you with facilitating your payment process, and we'll work with you to find the best options.

Cash/reduced fees

All of our providers will accept self-pay clients, and these rates vary based on each therapists practice, specialties, and experience. Sometimes therapists will offer reduced fees or extended payment options. Our screening process prioritizes presenting concerns to place you where help will be the most effective, and your counselor can discuss these alternatives with you at intake.

Community Counseling

With support from Christ Community Church, CityCare Counseling is able to provide supervision to local university interns who are completing their final year of their graduate programs for master’s degrees. These counselors are under the supervision of licensed counselors at both CityCare and their university faculty. If available, counseling interns are available for a limited number of sessions. These sessions are offered to those who are unable to pay standard rates or for the uninsured/underinsured. Four sessions are offered for free, and sessions after that are $10 per session. We consider all requests for community counseling on a case-by-case basis during the semester terms, depending on the availability of our intern counselors.
