Introduction

NOTE: October 31, 2025-> There is currently a waiting list for services. Please inquire if you are interested in services. FMCS focuses on developing culturally competent and client-centered relationships with the client so that they can better understand and resolve underlying issues. We will work with adolescents and adults on working through trauma, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety, improving commitment to substance-free living, reducing interpersonal conflict, coming to terms with life transitions, developing insight into LGBTQ+ identities, and creating meaning out of grief and loss. To help with this work we use modalities that strive to help you connect with what is keeping you stuck and help you work through ways to resolve and commit to vital life directions.
