CMHC services are always
client-centered, confidential and private. Counseling
is designed to suit each client’s specific needs. Individual
assessment is conducted to determine the nature of the problem, and mutually agreed upon
steps are developed with clients to resolve their issues.
Treatment can range from
a few appointments to long-term support. Clients are referred to
the best person or program to help solve their problems. Parents,
guardians or other important relatives are encouraged to participate. Follow-up and feedback are used to determine whether
clients are satisfied with the help they received.
The staff also trains
student therapists enrolled in DePaul University's Clinical Psychology doctoral program,
which emphasizes urban, community-based, and multicultural experiences with children and families. |
