Grief and loss

Counseling and therapy with clinical psychologists provide the opportunity to discuss and explore problems or feelings that are important to you. The general aim of counseling is to help you grow toward greater freedom in making informed choices and acting on personal decisions that are satisfying to you. They provide individual, couple, and group counseling, educational workshops and classroom presentations, support groups, consultation with students, faculty, and staff, and referrals, when appropriate, to community mental health and social service providers.

Our employees and volunteers come from many faith traditions to serve and support poor and vulnerable people through the provision of quality, integrated services and housing. Our focus is on those individuals, children, families, and communities struggling with poverty and the effects of intolerance and racism.

The Pierce County Crisis Line is a free service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week that provides immediate help to individuals, families and friends of people in crisis throughout Pierce County. Anyone can call the Crisis Line - for themselves, a family member or friend. First responders, such as EMS staff and law enforcement officers, are also encouraged to call the crisis line if they encounter an individual in a crisis during the course of their work. How We Help : The crisis line will help triage the crisis situation and make a request for crisis outreach services as necessary. In Pierce County, crisis outreach services are provided by two agencies:

Catholic Community Services provides crisis outreach services for children and youth age 17 and under.

Mobile Outreach Crisis Team (MOCT), part of MultiCare Behavioral Health, provides crisis outreach services for persons age 18 and over, including face-to-face evaluations.

Members of the MOCT team provide initial assessments to determine if the individual in crisis will accept a less restrictive alternative to hospitalization. If the individual appears to meet involuntary detainment criteria (danger to self, danger to others, gravely disabled), the MOCT will refer to the Designated Mental Health Professional (DMHP) or refer to the Emergency Department.

The MOCT cannot:

· Walk into active domestic violence situations

· Transport individuals

· Determine medical conditions

· Do a mental health assessment or evaluation of a person under the influence of drugs or alcohol

If there are weapons present or significant history of violence, the MOCT will request police assistance to safely evaluate the individual.

Integrated Therapy Services is dedicated to serving our community by supporting individuals, couples, and families through their lifelong journey of emotional growth and personal development.
