NEW DIRECTIONS COUNSELING CENTER
In a comfortable, confidential atmosphere our professionally trained clinicians help people of all ages identify, sort out and work through a myriad of life issues including: stress, abuse, depression, alcohol or drug dependency, anxiety, PTSD, anger, and school or family problems. The center offers individual, couples and family counseling. We are able to accept most major health insurance plans.
Since 1947 counseling has been an important aspect of ISS’ varied community services. Consequently, the New Directions Counseling Center offers a sliding fee scale to those lacking adequate health insurance coverage, thus ensuring that anyone who needs emotional or mental health assistance can get it regardless of income. We view this human service program as an integral component of our holistic approach to overcoming poverty.
