Family Counseling Services
It can happen suddenly or over a long period of time…an illness strikes, a family member becomes violent, a divorce is threatened, depression or anxiety builds up, relationships suffer. Personal and family problems like these cause a great deal of pain, often without warning. Our counseling services can lend strength and vision when times seem the most difficult. They enable children and adults to solve individual difficulties, improve their relationships and engage in healthy family dynamics.




"It Takes A Whole Village To Raise A Child."

Family Counseling
Calvary Tabernacle acknowledges that the family is the primary educator of a child and provides counseling support to all members of the child’s family. Typically, suffering within a family isn't limited to one individual. Some of the most common issues that are seen in counseling include: family conflict, death, divorce, depression, anxiety, exposure to trauma (including abuse/neglect) and behavioral problems. 

Individual Counseling
For special cases such as the family receiving therapy elsewhere or if the youth is over 15 and has requested his/her own therapy, Calvary Tabernacle will work with an individual child or adolescent. If it is determined that care should be provided outside of our center, a release must be signed to help coordinate care with another provider. Calvary Tabernacle does not have a psychiatrist on staff.

Group Counseling
Throughout the year, we offer various types of group counseling such as adolescent, female psychosocial process group or a grandparents raising grandchildren group. For more information about current group offerings please call us at (516)-292-3685.

Crisis Intervention
We are prepared to respond to a variety of urgent mental health concerns such as complications from natural and/or manmade disasters, child abuse and neglect, runaways, and domestic violence. 

Suicide Prevention
As an agency of our community, our responsibilities include ensuring the safety of all. Suicide prevention is provided in two forms: clinical and outreach.  In our clinical approach, an assessment is made and the individual is either immediately referred to the emergency room of a local hospital or a safety plan is developed to ensure the well-being of the individual.  Our outreach efforts occur in schools or the community in guest lectures or panel discussions.

Substance Abuse Assessment & Referrals
Our counseling staff is trained to assess and recognize when a youth or adult presents with a substance abuse concern.  If the case requires specific substance abuse concern, we will coordinate our counseling  with the youth or adult if he or she will be referred for either inpatient or outpatient services.
