Get Help.
How can we help?
We have practical help for you, or someone you know.
Sometimes, getting the help you need is hard. It seems like there are endless hoops to jump through, decisions to make, and even a reduced sense of self-worth. We want to build you up as you receive the help you need.
We’re here to offer practical help, in a safe and easy way. What is “practical help?” It simply means offering services that will give you tools and resources for your future, not just now. We promise not to over-complicate the process – we just want to give you access to the help you need, when it’s needed.

Can I choose what’s in my box?
Of course! We have designated a time each week for you to come and fill a box for yourself. This is the best way to ensure that you get what you want each week. Right now, come in person on Tuesdays from 5-6:30 pm or Thursdays from 11:30a-1pm and fill a box.

How long will I be seen by a Counselor?
Seeing a counselor is a personal choice, therefore how many times you are seen by a therapist is determined by you. There are times when doctors will provide a suggested amount of time as to how long you should be seen, but that is still up to you and your counselor. You can be seen once a week, every other week, once a month, or even only a few times a year, you can talk to your counselor to get insight if you would like to know what they think you might benefit from.
My counselor isn't a good fit, can I switch?
Yes, but it is up to you to contact CityCare to help find a different counselor. Counselors understand and want you to get the help that you desire and if they turn out to not be what you need due to their specialties or whatever reason, it is completely okay to switch.
Can I choose a Male or Female Counselor?
Yes, there are both male and female options for counseling. It is up to you as to who you would like to see and you can change your mind at any time.
