Support From Professionals You Can Trust
Licensed clinical social workers experienced in dealing with medical and emotional challenges offer counseling and connect you to additional community resources as needed. One-on-one counseling and family counseling are available.
When you work with a Passages social worker, you can decide how often to meet. A long-term commitment isn’t required. Instead, you can choose to address what is causing you pain or difficulty at this time and can arrange future meetings as needed.
Passages social workers are dedicated to protecting your privacy according to state and federal laws and the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers.
