We support both individuals and families from all ages, cultural, and socioeconomic backgrounds with an integrative approach that utilizes evidence-based treatments. Our skilled therapists provide family therapy, case management, clinical supervision, and crisis intervention.
We offer a broad range of therapy services for individual and group counseling as well as ongoing consultation and referrals with clients to achieve the best outcomes possible. By offering the highest quality, client-focused health care, we enable people to live richer lives and reach their highest potential. By formulating specific treatment plans, our therapists implement a holistic approach to ensure their needs are met with industry-leading interventions.
With a strong passion for helping clients and shaping the future of mental health, we work directly with them, their families, physicians, and community providers to ensure active and collaborative care from initiation of treatment to completion.
EMCC offers a safe environment for hurting people to receive help and healing. Our vision is "to empower hurting people everywhere that healing is possible" and our mission is "to provide compassionate and evidence-based behavioral healthcare to individuals and families." Our mission and vision inform all that we do at EMCC to strengthen individuals and restore families to wholeness. Our vision and mission are facilitated by compassionate counselors who are trained to help people manage the difficulties of everyday life.
Beginning in March of 2020, the Eldred McClean Counseling Center (EMCC) experienced an escalation of calls and emails from people seeking comfort, support, and help. A lot of people were seeking out our services due to grief, marital conflict, divorce, and concern for their children. Some were suffering grief on top of grief - the loss of loved ones, the loss of jobs due to lay-offs, and the abrupt loss of life as they once knew it. Out of compassion and not wanting to turn anyone away, the EMCC Board of Directors suspended all fees for counseling services in April 2020. And although the uptick in clients meant increased expenses for Telehealth and other essential services, EMCC was able to continue the Center’s operations as we focused on responding to those seeking our help. With the help of generous donors, we were able to continue counseling individuals free of charge for an entire year!
Today, the number of people looking for support from EMCC post-Covid still ebbs and flows. All of our counselors have full client loads. Unfortunately, requests for counseling due to issues of grief, anxiety, depression, divorce and conflict in families are still on the rise. However, our focus is not singularly on diagnosing and treating specific conditions. Rather, we strive to help individuals holistically.
