Program Description

Family Service Association of Greater Elgin’s Outpatient Therapy Program provides compassionate, individualized mental health services for children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. We recognize that every person brings unique strengths, experiences, and goals to the therapeutic process. Our clinicians work collaboratively with clients and families to build on those strengths, develop effective coping skills, navigate life’s challenges, and support meaningful, lasting change.

Our team offers a range of therapeutic services tailored to each client’s needs and goals, including individual, family, and group therapy; mental health assessment; treatment planning; client-centered consultation; psychiatric evaluation and medication monitoring; crisis support; and community-based services.

We are proud to offer evidence-based and specialized therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Family-Based Treatment (FBT) for Eating Disorders. We also offer Animal-Assisted Therapy with Henri, our therapy dog, providing an additional supportive and engaging way for clients to connect, feel comfortable, and participate in the therapeutic process. Throughout the year, we offer a variety of therapeutic and supportive groups designed to foster connection, skill-building, and personal growth.

Our goal is to create a welcoming, collaborative environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Whether someone is navigating a difficult transition, working through trauma, strengthening relationships, or seeking support with emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges, our clinicians partner with each individual and family to identify their strengths and work toward their goals.
