Counseling

We recognize how behavioral, mental, emotional, and substance abuse problems affect all areas of a person's life. We provide a safe, supportive environment where you can heal. Our comprehensive outpatient counseling program offers a full continuum of behavioral and mental health services with individualized treatment plans tailored to address each person's unique problems and needs. Each patient undergoes an evaluation to determine the most appropriate level of care needed.

Therapeutic components may include individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy and referral to 12-step support groups. Medication assisted treatment for substance abuse disorders is also available. St. Claire Counseling is always finding ways to provide mental health services in a convenient, effective manner.

Individuals may be self-referred to any of the behavioral and mental health services offered at St. Claire Counseling. Referrals are also accepted from healthcare providers, school personnel, and family members. However, we do ask that adults call to schedule their own appointments.

Will my insurance company pay for the services?

Counseling works closely with patients, their families, agency representatives, insurance companies, EAPs and managed care providers to determine all possible payment options. We are an approved provider for most major insurance companies and managed care plans. Please feel free to call 606.783.6805 or 888.400.4544 to determine if St. Claire Counseling accepts your insurance plan. In addition, St. Claire Counseling will accept direct payment of fees for individuals who do not have or want to use insurance.
