New Skills for the Challenges of Life
| The Coping Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
emotional welfare of its clients. We
provide high quality, professional counseling at an affordable rate.
Our clients are holistic persons consisting of body, mind and spirit.
Emotional health can be affected by problems in any of these areas. Therefore, all
treatment will focus on the entire person. When spiritual counseling is offered, it is from
a Christian perspective.
The goal of counseling couples or families is healing of the
relationships. It is the belief of the counselors that there is no one "right"
way that a marriage relationship must be organized. And the uniqueness of the partners
and the specific situations affecting the couple are considered to be dynamic
factors that dictate the needs of the couple. The goal of therapy is to explore
the uniqueness of the relationship, identify obstacles to growth, and to encourage personal
change.

 Discovery |
No therapist/counselor will conduct therapy beyond their level of competency
and license. No guarantees of cure are given to clients. The dynamics of
counseling are too complicated to allow for the suggestion that any one
counseling method will assure cure for any particular client. Therefore,
careful consideration is given to selecting the best therapy based on the presenting needs of the client.

HOURS OF OPERATION
In order to accommodate the varying needs of our clients The Coping Center, Inc. does not have fixed hours of operation. There is a
great deal of flexibility in the hours available for counseling. Call (936) 293-3014 to schedule an appointment or for more information. 24 Hour Answering Service.
PROGRAM COSTS
With the exception of legally mandated treatment, participation in treatment
is voluntary. Persons who voluntarily submit themselves for treatment are
expected to participate in the program. Excessive absences from sessions,
or failure to complete assignments can result in termination of services.
However, such termination does not relieve the client or the responsible
party of financial responsibility.
Persons who are legally mandated to attend treatment will have their
attendance and participation reported to the sending agency.

A sliding scale is used to determine the costs of counseling. The costs
range from $25.00 to $75.00 per session. Should those costs prove to be
excessive, special arrangements may be made. Clients who have medical
insurance may allow mental health coverage to be charged for services in
accordance with the conditions of that policy.
