Outpatient Counseling Services

Individual Outpatient Therapy  
Our clinicians are highly trained and well experienced professionals who
recognize the importance of privacy, compassion, and efficiency during times of
stress. We utilize a broad range of evidence-based, well-researched, and
effective treatment approaches in a supportive and positive environment. Please
navigate to the "Our Staff" web page for a roster of our clinicians and their
individual areas of expertise.

Marital Counseling
It is essential to meet with certified marriage and family therapists when you have
a relationship problem. We have several licensed MFT staff and one approved
supervisor in the Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.

Trauma and Abuse Services
Marriage & Family Health Services also employs an EMDR trained Master’s Level
therapist. EMDR is the recognized form of treatment for children and adults who
have been traumatized. The types of trauma that we work with include but are not
limited to physical abuse, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and/or witnessing a
traumatic experience.

Play Therapy for Children
Marriage & Family Health Services has a well known expertise in the area of play
therapy. In addition to having a number of play therapists, Marriage & Family has
two play therapy rooms to work with children. Play therapy is the recognized form
of treatment with children who are experiencing emotional and/or behavioral
difficulties, and can be the treatment of choice for older children with
communication problems. The age ranges with which our therapists work include
children as young as 2 ½ years of age.

In-Home Family Therapy Services
Marriage & Family Health Services provides in-home family therapy in a wide
geographic range. We provide a therapeutic team lead by a certified
psychotherapist with a competent and experienced co-therapist. These
individuals bring their therapeutic ability to the client’s home which often offers a
greater therapeutic benefit. Dr. Johnston, in addition to being a licensed clinical
psychologist and registered nurse, is also the approved supervisor in the
Association for Marriage & Family Therapy.  As such, each certified marriage &
family therapist as well as certified psychotherapists employed at Marriage &
Family Health Services receives regular and meaningful supervision during the
delivery of the in-home family therapy services. Marriage & Family Health looks
forward to an increasing number of referrals in this area as it has been a proven
benefit for the children and their families. Our experience suggests that the child
and/or adolescent who experiences in-home therapy with a competent treatment
team benefits to a greater extent given the cohesiveness in the therapeutic plan.

Grief Counseling
Our clinicians possess considerable training and experience in assisting people
who are grieving, both in the anticipated process following an important loss and
in cases in which the grieving is unusually prolonged, problematic, or otherwise
complicated.
