Onsite and Telehealth Outpatient Therapy
Our Farley-Manning Family Guidance Service (FGS) provides onsite and telehealth therapy for children ages birth through 11 years old and their families.
At FGS, we help families understand the reasons why their children may be having emotional or behavioral difficulties and help them work toward sustainable solutions. Getting started is simple!
Step 1
Request for Consultation. Parents can expect to hear back from us within two weeks, although occasionally our waiting lists are longer.
Step 2
We’ll then arrange a meeting with the parents and share any advice or recommendations for next steps. We tailor our recommendations to the unique needs of each child.
Step 3
If further treatment is recommended with FGS, continued help typically includes a combination of parent counseling, play therapy for the child, family therapy, collaboration with the school, among other things.
