Sheppard Pratt’s Off-Site Counseling service offers a combination of in school and in home therapy services for children and families. We treat children, adolescents, and families in schools, homes, or other locations. Access our offsite counseling services.
What to Expect From Sheppard Pratt’s Off-Site Counseling
Our service provides much-needed behavioral and mental health services to children and families who may have limited access to care. The families we serve often face transportation barriers or have multiple children at home, making it difficult to come to regular appointments outside the house.
Our team of licensed counselors and therapists travels to families and students, providing treatment where you need it. We offer:
- Therapy: Sheppard Pratt provides personalized therapy services to help children, adolescents, and families address emotional, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Care is tailored to each individual’s needs and may include individual, family, and evidence-based therapies delivered in the home, at school, or other community settings.
- Medication management: As a program of Sheppard Pratt, we are able to seamlessly refer our clients to psychiatrists and nurse practitioners within the Sheppard Pratt continuum of care for any prescription medication needs
- Group therapy: When participating in group therapy, individuals develop self-awareness by listening to others with similar issues and simultaneously gaining insight and learning new skills. Group therapy is a great addition to traditional individual or family therapy and can help people progress in their treatment. We offer this service in schools to equip students with specific skills, such as anger management or social assistance.
