Family Counseling Service Programs



 
 


General Counseling and Mental Health Programs: Our general mental health counseling helps people cope with a wide range of issues, including: parent-child tensions, marriage, couple, and familial difficulties, physical, mental and emotional abuse, family violence, anger management, stress, depression, work related concerns, loss and grief, and child and adolescent issues.

Addictions Programs: Family Counseling Service offers both group and individual counseling services for adults and adolescents with substance abuse issues and substance abuse combined with co-occurring disorders. The CORE program is a dual diagnosis, intensive outpatient treatment program. It is designed to serve adults who are dually diagnosed with a mental disorder in combination with a substance related disorder. The two primary components are group therapy and education related to the simultaneous process of substance abuse recovery and mental disorder management. There is an Intensive Outpatient group (IOP) and an Aftercare/Outpatient group (OP). IOP meets 10 hours per week Monday-Thursday for 12 weeks. The OP group meets weekly for two hours and it is recommended members participate for six months.

Domestic Violence Classes  fulfills the obligation for the Court and teaches methods of anger management.  

Budget and Debt Counseling is a free service provided by CCCS accredited counselors.

The EAP program is an additional benefit provided to employees.  For more information about how your business can offer an Employee Assistance Program through Family Counseling Service, please contact our Executive Director at 775-322-6557.

Sexual Abuse Programs: Family Counseling Service offers treatments for children, families, and adults recovering from sexual abuse. We offer group and individual counseling and hold a free camp, "Summer of Healing", located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  The camp is specifically designed for children and teens who have been victims of sexual abuse. Each individual is evaluated as to their needs,

Summer of Healing Camp

Each summer children and teen groups as well as children outside Northern Nevada have the opportunity to attend a free, one-week camp in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This is a time for group activities and processing of the success they have made throughout the year in their own groups and individual work. The camp is divided between intensive treatment and afternoons devoted to regular camp activities. With the assistance of funding from a variety of sources, Family Counseling Service is able to provide this camp free of charge to children and teens in Nevada. To find out how you can send a child to camp contact Family Counseling Service at 775-322-6557.

Sandbox Group: For children six and under, this group focuses on assisting children in dealing with the abuse through the language of play.  Contact our agency for dates and times.

Children's Group: For children six to 12, this group focuses on children understanding the nature of sexual abuse and provide support  from their peers and  trained therapists. 

Teen Group: For teens 13 to 17, this group focuses on understanding the dynamics of the abuses and assists with helping the teen to address these issues. Adolescence is a difficult time and with the added pressure of being molested, it can be overwhelming. The group offers support from trained therapists and their peer group.

Non-Offending Group: This is designed for parents and grandparents whose children have been sexually abused. 

Adults Molested As Children: Designed for an adult who has been sexually abused as a child.

Aly's Prom Closet: This program offers the gowns, tuxedos and accessories to students experiencing financial hardship so they can attend their prom with dignity and confidence they deserve.
