Helping Families

Mercy House Counseling Center is a safe place for the old and young, parents, children and adolescents, and senior citizens of our community.

We offer counseling, teaching,  knowledge, and encouragement to help families live happy, healthy lives.  Mercy House Counseling Center’s staff has been working with individuals and families for more than 15 years to help individuals and families.

The following are a few of the diagnoses in which we specialize for adults, adolescents, and children:

• Autism
• Asperger's
• ADD/ADHD
• Sensory Integration Disorder
• Bipolar
• Pervasive Developmental Disorder
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Life changes the elderly and their families face
• Children and Adult Children of Alcoholics

We also assist  single parents, divorced parents, and families with biologically-unrelated members living in the same household to lend a hand and heart to provide help that each of these unique families experience.

We talk with children and parents to help them gain the skills they need to appropriately parent and communicate effectively with each other.  Most parents want their children to behave appropriately with their friends, in school by making good grades, and by doing what they are asked to do at home.  Most children need good parenting to know how to act in these situations.

Many children and parents simply don't know how to do these things without some assistance.  We help parents and children be successful.

In addition, we provide counseling and support to adults who may be helping their senior citizen parents with decisions about when living alone may not be the most beneficial.  We assist families in deciding when the right time is for the senior citiziens to move in with the adult children, find assisted living, determine when retirement facilities are needed, and other matters that these families may need counsel and advice regarding.   In an effort to help these families and their parents when the time comes to deal with these questions about life changes, our stafff counsels, works with other health care providers, and suggests additional agencies who may help your family through these times.

We value your time and would appreciate and respect the trust you would place in us to provide counseling to you and your family.  Our counseling support is determined by your needs and our abilities.  What you expect and need determines how we help you.  We consider you to be the expert on your life and what you need.  Our responsibility is to be respectful and provide our expertise and counsel to help you solve the problems you experience.

As part of our new all-electronic, paperless system, we have begun using Therapy Appointment which allows you to complete your paperwork prior to coming in, and schedule appointments.  If you are a new client, please follow the link provided to:  Gena Tidwell-Haley, LPC.
