Individual & Family Therapy

At Sumler Counseling Services, we offer individualized therapy for both individuals and families. Our process begins with an initial assessment, during which we meet with the parents of the child or adolescent to understand their journey and collaboratively develop a tailored treatment plan. This comprehensive two-hour session provides ample time to discuss our approach, ensuring you have the information needed to make informed decisions about your child’s care. For adult clients, parental involvement is optional and will depend on the specific circumstances and preferences of the individual seeking services.

At SCS, we are adamant about making sure parents are involved in the therapy process with a child or adolescent. A parent will have an opportunity to meet with the therapist during every appointment. Usually, a parent will meet with the therapist during the first part of the session (around 15 to 20 minutes) and the therapist will meet with the child/adolescent for the rest of the session. While we are flexible with this approach, we know family systems do not change without parental involvement. We also offer parent appointments to update goals and where we are at in the therapy process.
