Community Involvement

A Socially Conscious Olive Branch...

In society today we are constantly bombarded with images, sounds and experiences that are troubling.  Many children and adults have the need for counseling or psychotherapy.  Unfortunately, the need for psychological services is sometimes unnoticed, or out of reach physically or financially.

From our beginning in 1996, Olive Branch has had a commitment to the community to provide the finest of psychological services available and we work hard to do that at affordable rates.  We are a part of most insurance plans and have a sliding fee scale for the uninsured or for those whose insurance we are unable to accept.  It is a requirement for each clinician working at Olive Branch to accept clients who are unable to pay the full fee.  At times, Olive Branch services are offered free of charge through other organizations.

Through the years, Olive Branch Counseling Associates has established connections with several other organizations who share the common value of helping others.  We partner with several educational organizations and offer our services free of charge to members of their communities.  Whether the needs are for counseling or psychotherapy, psycho-educational workshops, behavior modification work, help with relationships, parenting, anger management or family reunification, Olive Branch Counseling Associates is a part of restoring individuals, couples and families to wholeness and fulfillment.
