What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Mid-America Psychological & Counseling Services provides specialized outpatient care focusing heavily on precise diagnostics and talk therapy. Their continuum of care ranges from single-session forensic assessments to ongoing counseling appointments.
Therapies
Treatment plans are uniquely formulated only after a clear diagnosis has been established. Modalities include individual, family, and couples therapy, alongside targeted play therapy designed specifically for young children. Crisis intervention is also readily available to support clients navigating acute trauma or sudden emotional distress.
Addictions
The clinical team offers targeted evaluation and outpatient counseling for drug and alcohol abuse. By assessing the severity of a client's substance dependence, licensed professionals can guide patients toward an effective recovery plan.
Conditions
Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of the practice's mental health treatment approach. Clinicians run dedicated specialty clinics for ADHD, learning disorders, and Autism Spectrum conditions. They also treat severe depression, anxiety, PTSD, and complex neuropsychological disorders like dementia and Parkinson's disease.
Issues
Forensic and legal complexities are a major focus for this practice, which routinely conducts mediation for high-conflict families. Clinicians expertly manage court-ordered scenarios ranging from parental rights termination to child custody evaluations. Counselors also help clients work through the trauma of emotional abuse, childhood neglect, and chronic physical pain.
Programs
Care here is organized into dedicated specialty clinics rather than traditional residential treatment tracks. These diagnostic clinics concentrate exclusively on evaluating and treating highly specific categories, such as ongoing memory care assessments for stroke victims or patients with Alzheimer's disease.
On-site
Amenities
Because this is strictly an outpatient clinical practice, therapy takes place in traditional, professional office settings. To ensure psychological care remains highly accessible for working professionals and busy families, the clinic happily offers evening and weekend appointments upon request.
