OMNI’s Counseling Programming offers family, group and individual counseling for youth encountering emotional and behavioral difficulties.

OMNI believes the best way to make positive change in adolescents is by encouraging them to learn through their actions. OMNI offers hands-on challenges with a treatment approach know as “experiential therapy”, which connects learning experience with the development of skills for life.

Counseling Services: Family, Individual and Group OMNI offers a variety of counseling services, each designed with the client’s specific needs in mind. Family involvement is strongly encouraged and critical to the overall success of treatment.

  • OMNI offers a multitude of groups including:
    • Anger Management – helps male and female adolescents eliminate aggression and suppression.
    • Family Challenge – a great opportunity to improve family relationships while having fun!
    • Frameworks – focuses on issues that are unique to junior high adolescents.
    • Images – learn about important issues that female teens are faced with every day.
    • Navigators:an interactive parent information series incorporating experiential activities into lessons with information, parenting ideas, and support. Topics include:
      • Adolescent Development
      • Normal Adolescence
      • Consequences
      • Communication
      • Conflict Resolution
      • Parental Self-Care
      • Pharmacology
      • Signs & Symptoms of Substance Use
      • Substance Use & The Family

      • Distorted Thinking Patterns in Teens

    • Response: Recognizing that it is a life skill for how people control the way they respond to events in their lives, RESPONSE is designed to help adolescents make good decisions and understand the implications of poor decision-making and/or substance use. Participants will learn to evaluate situations and consider the long and short term consequences before they respond. This can be used as an alternative to suspension option.
  • Crisis Intervention Services: Professional staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for crisis intervention responses to adolescent related emergency situations. OMNI provides immediate response to crisis calls from police, schools, clients or families seeking immediate assistance with adolescent or family related problems. Family stabilization is the focus of this service.

  • Diagnostic and Assessment Services: OMNI licensed professional staff offer a comprehensive assessment and provide clinical diagnosis and individualized treatment planning for the youth and their family.

Urinalysis tests are conducted to assess a client’s current substance use, monitor progress and provide an objective method of accountability to reflect client progress to referral sources and/or parents.
  • Psychological Testing Services:

      • Battery of inter-related tests determining functioning including:

Fees for services vary from program to program. A sliding fee scale is available for those families who may have an inability to pay, which is based upon household income, number of dependents and relevant outstanding expenses.
