Therapeutic & Counseling Staff

Therapists and counselors at DCMHS practice as "generalists." This means that they typically provide services to a broad range of diagnostic groups and are familiar with the variety of personal issues for which clients seek help. The training and educational background of our therapists and counselors include, at a minimum, completion of the Master's degree. DCMHS employs 12 full-time counselors across the region, with several of the counselors working in more than one County. Individual, group, marital, and family therapy are commonly utilized to help clients attain counseling goals and objectives. Also, crisis therapists are available 24 hours per day for emergency intervention and assessments either by phone or in person. Most of the therapists are certified to provide consultations to the local hospital medical staff and to consult to regional emergency rooms. Pictured here are some of the DCMHS therapists at a weekly staff meeting where treatment planning occurs within a team oriented format.
