"As families progress through the various stages and changes characteristic of normal life, we can sometimes find ourselves overwhelmed by the challenges we face...counseling is one tool that can be used to help families improve communication or to work through problems whether they are major life crises or daily discomforts."

ISLAND COUNSELING:

Families overwhelmed by stress, experiencing difficulties in relationships, struggling with addiction, and/or families in crisis, all seek help from the Island Counseling Center.  The ICC's Mental Health and Substance Abuse Programs provide services to all individuals regardless of ability to pay.  Client fees are set in accordance with the ICC's sliding fee scale.  No client is denied counseling services based on an inability to pay for treatment.  Unfunded care is supported through the generosity of donors who contribute to our Annual Appeal, by proceeds from The Thrift Shop, and through those who participate in the agency's special events--the Possible Dreams Auction and the MV Challenge.

Island Counseling Center is an active program, providing more than 10,000 visits each year and touching the lives of more than 890 Island families.  The staff is comprised of licensed social workers, licensed psychologists, licensed mental health counselors, a clinical nurse specialist, and a psychiatrist/medical director.  A full range of services are provided within the outpatient mental health and substance abuse programs, including individual, family, couple, group, and case consultation services.  They include:
