Looking for free (or very discounted) individual, family and substance abuse counseling services in the Miami area. Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
try online counselling sites. I am not sure you would find any free in person counsellors
If you don’t have one together after they give you a counseling and 30 days to get one together do you just keep getting UCMJ or do they just chapter you? Please only comments from prior service or actively serving and only if you know what you are talking about. I need straight honest answers and no extra comments please….thank you.
up to the CO ulitmately.. you could be kicked out immediately, you could be forced to sign a FCP with people that THEY choose for you, you could be given lots of AR 15s.
you will NOT be allowed to re enlist at the end of your current contract and it is possible you will be flagged until you seperate.. which means no promotions or chance to PCS./
6 years ago my husband was convicted of domestic violence, because of me. He was ordered to do community service and anger management classes and he completed them. At the time when this happen, his 3 year old daughter’s mother found out and convinced the judge to have him have supervised visitations. My husband was angry and upset and eventually stopped going to the visits. He realizes now he made a big mistake. His daughter is now 9. We now have a great relationship, because of counseling. We filed for him to get his visitations back. What should he expect from the court after 5 years?
Expect the worst and hope for the best !
Bring any documentation to show he completed anger management,
good luck

My dad had anger issues when I was little. I’m all grown up now and moved out but I have some issues with how he raised me. He never hit me but anytime I would do something (even if it was a legitimate accident) he would yell at me at the top of his longs. Never talking always yelling.
I would deal with this anger in my own way, for instance:
____If I made a mistake while playing with something and he yelled at me for it I just wouldn’t play any more.
____If I was kidding around when he wanted to be serious, he would get mad and then I would stop kidding around
As you can imagine all this avoiding made me a very quiet person with low self esteem.
So, now I’m grown up and I know why I was the way I was. I know my issues, but my dad has no Idea why I act defensive some times.
It is impossible to talk to him. Every time any one disagrees with him he goes into "guilt trip" mode and I don’t know how to combat it.
So long story short I need my dad to go to counseling. I was hoping there was a show out there like "nanny 911" but for family counseling. I don’t have a lot of money and I believe a tv show would provide the service for free. I don’t want to go onto a show, I wan the therapist to come to the house.
I’m okay now but my dad needs free therapy. Is there a show that will send a therapist to you house?
My mom’s a psycho. Can I offer you constructive advice? Go to therapy yourself and work through your issues. Expect your dad to continue to be the huge mess he is right now. You can’t change him. He doesn’t even acknowledge there’s a problem.
If you went to therapy and you still don’t know how to deal with your dad, it didn’t work. You are not ok.
Good luck.
My college offers a free counseling service. (english college, not american – ages 16-18).
I’m 16 and I’ve been feeling very suicidal for a good 6 months or so. It’s gotten quite bad recently, my attendance has plummeted and I’ve even drafted out suicide notes.
None of my friends or family would even suspect a thing, and I want it to stay that way.
Will counseling work? Do they deal with severe depression issues? Its not the same as a therapist and I won’t be paying them so obviously there must be a downside to that? Help?
Yes counseling helps and you should seek it straight away as you are thinking of suicide. There is no down side to counseling, they will help you and they will refer you to a clinical psychologist or psychstarist if they feel the need too.
Why and how? I wrote this article explaining how I felt:
Too Many children left behind. Please see what I offer as a soultion to help with these issues.
"Did you know that Foster/Adopt Parents don’t do counseling before they take a child in? Foster/Adopt Parents don’t take a psychological test either.
I have noticed that in the data banks that there are still over 10 thousand children waiting for adoption and all over the age of 5 for the past two years plus (Texas). With this I have noticed several sites of people pursuing to adopt babies but not older children. I find this discouraging that so many people that can not have children of their own by natural ways do not choose to take on a child in the system over the age of 5. I have found many of these children suffer from severe Detachment and Emotional damage, yet the State provides no constant intensive Emotional Health services. The children at best see a therapist once a or twice a month which doesn’t resolve their abandoment issues nor their anger and hurt issues of being placed not in just one home but several homes over the course of a year. I have first hand knowledge these kids are left in ophanages for a few months than transfered to a home than in a couple months later transferred again. They have no
stability nor any Emotional help to deal with the dramatic changes in their lives. At these times these children show signs of either complete withdrawn or complete abusive natures. Than alot of them age out of the system and don’t thrive to become caring productive emotional stable adults. More than half of the girls end up pregant and living with abusive partners. More than half of most of these children end up on the streets or jail. In order for better outcomes and futures for these kids we must stop the constant cycle of rolling them over to new foster homes all the time. Most of the children with siblings don’t or to far away to see their siblings. This is a shame because the only bond these kids have left is severed due to lack of good Foster Parents. I encourage Foster Parenting but doing a basic backround check, some classes and a home study doesn’t rectify the problem. These Foster Parents need not take kids in hopes of getting a young child to raise as
their own. These Foster Parents like natural parents should be in Counseling sessions to insure they have the mentality and good emotional health to truely understand that if they take these kids that are awaiting for Adoption can be theirs with alot of hard work in participating in Emotional COunseling before and after the child is placed with them until the child’s symptons of oppression or aggression are resolved in order to gain a bond to help keep the children placed in on place and possibly adopted by that Foster Family.
This is where our system is Failing Children. They place the kids in where they can but the matches are not always to the children’s needs unless it’s the needs of phyisical. Than these Foster/Adopt Parents tend to these kids with no clue what is wrong with them, because CPS never gives them the gist of the problems prior to removals or termination. CPS doesn’t give much history on these children from the family, schools, parents, nor any other source of these kids past. The kids come in as vicitims but have learned from their "abusers" how to react or act on different forms of abuse but counseling is never given extensively to help curve what these child have learned from their former environments. With this these children get around other children just like them and the destructive behavior of these kids is encouraged by their peers with like problems. Thus these kids never stop the cycle and as adults repeat or become worse than their "abusers." First thing taught
in Child Psychology is that Children Model and repeat everything they hear and see. So if bad behavior is being reinforced by the abuser for many years, than an other child is helping reinforce bad behavior, as possibly well as a Foster/Adopt parent (knowing they don’t do couseling or any testing prior to becoming Surgorate) end up encouraging bad behavior, and the child has no stablity with one home for more than 2 years with only a couple counseling sessions if that to help with behavior than EVERY CHILD IN FOSTER CARE is going to FAIL in adulthood. Not just that most children in Foster Care stop Thriving.
Yes, Family placement would be nice but CPS doesn’t always want to do that so they don’t really search. Sorry it’s the Truth. Some kids come from homes that had minor problems but CPS had the judges convinced the Parent was ill prepared to take the child home so Termination was granted after 12 months. Than there’s The incentive of keeping their jobs because as of 2011 these Caseworkers will have no job because it is going to private sector and they aren’t going with it. Than there’s the financial bonus to get kids adopted. Well, getting termination is easy in Texas so many judges love thinking they are protecting children by doing this.,but getting adopted for children over 5 is a curse to these kids.
Why can’t we get more Funding, not for Adoption or Foster Care, but for more intensive Family based Services for children of different severities of problems? Such as all Services provided to Parents in both Removal and Family based are the same. Why can’t we tailor these services for Family based services with more intensive services of 2 to 3 times a week counseling with children and children by themselves. Parenting Aids in homes twice a week. A big brother/big Sister outreach program required to do by these families to put more intervention in to see problems of parenting and for the kids to have someone who they can focus on when there are more than on child in the house.
My goal is to put these into effect. We have a request going through to push a 1 year program for Nurses to assist low income/single parent families for the first year of an infants life to help prevent homelessness, abortions, joblessness, malnurishement, and fatalities of infants by the Pro-Life organization in Houston. I believe an half an ounce of prevention leads to a pound of cure.
I believe my suggestions are Prevention with some needed immediate Cure."
"I found, from information provided by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, in Fiscal 2003, 30 foster children died in our state’s care; in Fiscal 2004, 38 foster children died; and in Fiscal 2005, 48 foster children died.
"Data shows that while the number of foster children in our state’s care increased 24 percent from 26,133 in Fiscal 2003 to 32,474 in Fiscal 2005, the number of deaths increased 60 percent."-Caroly Keeton Strayhorn
I am one of those parents fighting a Termination of Parental Rights Hearing in two months.
The laws in Texas make it one of the most difficult states in the United states to termnate a parents rights. Granted some Judges play loose with the laws, but as a whole it is very difficult to terminate a parents rights in Texas. As for counseling children in Texas can receive daily therapy depending on what is called their Service Level. Most children do not need that level of intense counseling. The system is only as good as the individual caseworkes and foster parents working with the parents. As to the privitization of CPS that looks to be prety much dead in the water now.
My wife has basically abandoned her family (myself, our 8 year old daughter and our 6 year old son). She has moved in with her boyfriend that she has been having an affair with for 3 years. I have retained legal counsel and have filed for divorce and custody of the kids. We are currently waiting for a court date. She has been gone from the house for a little over 5 weeks now and my son is having a lot of tantrums that culminate in him throwing himself to the floor and crying uncontrollably. Then he says he hates me and I’m being mean to him. A little later he just wants me to hold him and comfort him for a while and then he’ll be OK for a few days. I never hit my kids and I rarely raise my voice to them, but these fits always start when I tell his "no" over something. I have been seeing a family services therapist to help me in dealing dealing with Crazy B—h. Can they help me with kids? Or are there other resources for someone in my situation?
divorce is like a death. your kids and you have to go thru a grieving process. yeah, it doesn’t help when the mom abandons the kids. it’s like they relive the death everytime she show up and then doesn’t come around for a while. whatever you do DON’T talk badly about your ex. No matter what she has done she is their mom. Remind the kids that it’s not their fault even if you have to do it 100x a day. Kids lash out when they feel scared. maybe they’re scared you’ll leave too. don’t make promises you can’t keep. spend time with them just doing whatever- playing outside, vegging out with junk food, do something out of the ordinary ONCE in a while. Consistency is something kids NEED. they thrive with consistaency. Above else, just love them. Remember your ex and you did some things badly, but having the kids is one of your greatest acheivement.
I’m looking to go to college and i really want to be an actor, however i need a good backup where i can easily support myself and possibly a family. I was wondering if there are any jobs that are related to social work/social services/counseling that have salaries of 100,000 a year? not exactly that amount, but somewhere in that area.
With a PhD in psychology and about 5 years of experience you could get a job in that salary range.
With an MSW and 8-10 years you might make that in a senior level mental health position or admin position.
Starting salaries for MA level jobs are 40-60K and 50-80K 5 years out.

Here’s a neat suggestion! Pick up your telephone & dial the toll free number for Kaiser Insurance Company. Listen to all the information to decide which number to push for the information you need. That’s what high premium costs for health insurance are for – to pay people to give out that information to it’s policy holders!
