Southwest Family Services was founded in 1982 to help individuals and families gain easier access to counseling services. Counseling is provided by independent licensed therapists conveniently located throughout the Twin Cities who specialize in treating a wide range of mental health issues. Our affiliated therapists offer day, evening, and weekend appointment hours with quick and easy access to therapists at convenient locations. By working with Southwest Family Services, you will be directly connected to a therapist where you can receive mental health services for young and school-age children, adolescents, families, couples, and individual adults. Specialty services such as psychological testing, ADD and ADHD child and adult assessments, career counseling and help with the psychological aspects of pain management and chronic illness are available.
Our network of licensed therapists offer treatment for depression, anxiety, self-esteem and body image, eating disorders, grief and loss, anger management and other conditions with significant emotional distress. While treatment philosophies vary, the focus of care is always to help clients function more happily and effectively at work, school, home, and in their primary relationships. Patients are encouraged to actively participate in their treatment and join with their therapist to acquire understanding and make changes. When we make a referral, we will also try to match you with a provider covered under your insurance plan. Our affiliated therapists accept most types of insurance which include Blue Cross and Blue Shield of MN, United Behavioral Health, Medica, Preferred One and United Healthcare insurance plans as well as other insurance and selected managed care plans. Many therapists we work with specialize in helping individuals who are referred by or covered under Employee Assistance Programs sponsored by local companies.
