The pathway to healing is only a phone call away! Why not call today?
At Family Counseling the client is met where they are at in their life today. Each one of us is unique with our own
set of unique needs in life today. At Family Counseling the belief and practice is to help you discover that
special unique person you are and what unique gifts you possess to offer. At Family Counseling medication is
not used as the "quick fix" like others use today. In many settings the client comes in with a self diagnosis of
"depression" and is quickly prescribed a medication. While medication is something that might be necessary to
help the client, at Family Counseling you will be evaluated for your individual needs. If a medication is
determined to be a necessary part of your treatment it is monitored with the goal of reducing and or eliminating
the need for medication. Anxiety, stress, trauma and depressive occurrences in life will cause a psychological
reaction within a person which could create a need for medication to help the client. Medication along with
counseling will enable you to work through issues.
All fees at Family Counseling are worked on a sliding scale and the maximum cost to the client being
seventy-five ($75.00) dollars per visit, each visit (session) approximately fifty minutes of in-session time.

| Facts and Reality of Divorce Mediation |
A recent study, just finished a year ago, showed that over a ten year period mediated divorces resulted in less conflict
between the parties as time went on, communication was increased and the children reported as well adjusted and had low
levels of conflict behavior in their lives.
Some attorneys might share with you that the cost will NOT be less than either Court or Collaborative Divorces. Nothing could
be further from the truth. One hour for one attorney would equate to about three hours of mediation, with two attorneys
present that means at least six (6) hours of mediation can take place for every one (1) hour of time with attorneys.
Cost should not be the deciding factor in using mediation, low conflict, maintaining some communication and maintaining
control over your lives and future decisions should be.
