counseling solutions                  
Removing barriers to personal fulfillment sometimes requires working through family conflict, stopping cycles of abuse, and changing patterns of thinking and behavior. That's why West Side Ecumenical Ministry added Counseling Solutions to its support network.

The heart of the Counseling Solutions program is a strong belief in the power of talk therapy and clinical teamwork to change lives. Fully licensed by the Ohio Department of Mental Health and accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), Counseling Solutions provides short-term individual and group counseling, psychiatric and case management services annually to over 1,000 men, women and children referred through WSEM's other Centers of Excellence and the community.

By working to achieve manageable and measurable short and long-term goals with the aid and support of a professional therapist, individuals who come to Counseling Solutions leave with a renewed sense of hope.
