Community Counseling Services:
Offering Tioga County residents a comprehensive continuum of counseling
services and supports for individuals of all ages and families coping
with emotional problems, mental illness, marital issues, depression,
alcoholism and substance abuse.
Mental Health Clinic Treatment Services:
Mental Health Clinic Treatment Services, which are available in
both Owego and Waverly, include a wide variety of different options
for consumers of all ages who present a need for counseling or evaluation
services. Initially, the consumer works with a professional intake
worker who assists them in identifying problem areas and goals for
treatment. The consumer is then referred to the appropriate service,
which could include individual, group or family therapy, case management
services or perhaps to a psychiatrist for an evaluation for medication.
Counseling Services:
Our Counseling Services for individuals of all ages are designed
to encourage a sense of well being, personal empowerment and movement
towards improved functioning in daily living for the consumer. The
use of a structured, consistent and stable setting with a caring
and objective listener allows for opportunities to explore personal
life history, present difficulties and future goals in a safe environment.
As a result of the therapeutic relationship, consumers are often
able to better identify problem areas, develop a plan of action
and take steps towards resolving issues.
Children & Youth Services:
Our Children & Youth Services provides a number of evaluation, consultation
and counseling services throughout the community. Many of these
services are located within the school districts or community settings
where children and adolescents spend a majority of their day. This
has proven to be an effective approach to treatment as it allows
for better communication between the schools, community agencies
and the children.
MICA Services:
MICA Services provides treatment and support to individuals with
a dual diagnosis of mental illness and chemical addictions. The
Department offers a variety of MICA services including individual
and group sessions. Treatment is tailored to meet individual needs
and emphasizes a team approach to afford clients the best chance
of recovery from both addiction and mental illness.
Crisis Situations:
For those consumers who are experiencing a crisis situation, the
Department of Mental Hygiene provides 24-hour a day crisis coverage.
While this service is primarily a phone service, same-day appointments
can be made in order to assist the consumer in managing an emergency
situation.
