Treatment

Mental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Couples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Experiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

I must say it's sad to see some of these bad reviews on such a nice place. I used to go here often a few years back. It was great. Couldn't beat the price. Actually thinking of going back soon. Not sure if it's changed but they really work with you on the price based on what you can afford. Yes there are student therapists but for the price you pay it's better than nothing. Have you seen what other Psychologist charge these days!? The students are very bright and well educated they just don't have a lot of experience. Cut them some dam slack. Instead of complaining people should be grateful understanding. I swear people just LOVEEEEEE to complain. How about work out your issue with management in a reasonable manner dont go tattle tale and bash them online.

While constructive criticism is important, we agree that direct communication with management is often more effective for resolving issues. We re glad to hear you had a positive experience with our services and found value in the care provided by our student therapists. We strive to offer affordable and quality mental health services and look forward to welcoming you back soon. Best wishes!

Erin Lawson

I have been fortunate enough to have been a friend of the Faulk Center for almost eight years now, and I can confidently recommend them as a place of amazing clinical care. The staff here are professional, knowledgeable, and deeply committed to providing the best service possible for the community they serve. I have recommended loved ones to their care and would 100% continue to do so.

Response from the owner1 year ago

Thank you Erin for your kind words. We strive to be a place of comfort, help, and hope for those who are struggling with their mental health. We have been a lifeline for many in our community, but we keep striving to help even more. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Lance Mitchell

This place is a ripoff. All they care about is money, not the well-being of anyone. Overcharge for everything and toss your child in an unsanitary room full of other kids. Counseling is from immature, unprofessional student trainees to save money. Find a LICENCED professional if you're having issues with your child, this is certainly not the place for proper care.

Hi Lance, I ll have to admit the tone and timing of your review took me by surprise. First, I would encourage you, or any client for that matter, to reach out directly to either myself or the leadership of the Faulk Center if you have any issue with our mental health services. I can assure that we take very seriously the quality of services rendered and that we are open to constructive feedback and suggestions from our clients to ensure EVERY client experience exceeds expectations. Second, we are just now planning to roll out in-person group counseling for children and adolescents since our pivot to telehealth brought about by COVID. With that, I am curious what prompted such a harsh response two years removed from our last in-person child group sessions? Finally, your assertions regarding client fees, and money in general, does not align with our low-cost/no-cost model of care. Children/Adolescent groups meet weekly with a fee of $25 for the whole month. Support groups are $5 a session. Some groups (LGBTQ Teen and My Generation) are offered at no-cost. We even take it a step further by allocating funds to help financially struggling clients offset any fees that they may incur. As a 501c3 nonprofit, our finances are available for review at Guidestar.org (where we have a Platinum Transparency Seal). I won t entertain your accusations of cleanliness and proper care in a public forum, but would rather suggest that potential clients come check out our facilities, meet our clinicians, and make their own judgment. You obviously have strong opinions, but please be mindful that words have power and that by using this forum to make serious accusations against a nonprofit that has served the community for 50 years without incident can have a negative impact on those who are desperately seeking accessible, high-quality help with their mental health. Again, happy to talk with you in person regarding all this and more. Reach out anytime at 561-483-5300 - Jonathan

Michelle Albano

As a former doctoral intern and then a clinical staff member at the Faulk Center, I can attest to the attention, care, and compassion that those who seek their services will experience. I never hesitate to refer family, friends, and my own clients who are seeking affordable, quality care because I know they will not be disappointed.

Thank you for your kind review. We are all passionate about the work we do and thankful for all the interns and clinical staff who are committed to providing the compassionate care that you spoke of.

Delanie Miller

Excellent options for a variety of low cost services! Not an appropriate place for substance abuse treatment. They have a large dedicated team that goes above and beyond to help the community!

Tessa

Worst place I ve gone to for help, so many better options available and through insurance. In 2018 they made me sign a contract stating I wouldn t kill myself before my next session, while I was suicidal and not receiving correct help at the time.

Hi Tessa, I am sorry you feel this way. I would welcome the opportunity to hear more about your specific experience and how we may be able to assist. Please call me at your convenience at 561-483-5300. As for other treatment options; all though it is true that we do not accept insurance, I can assure you that the student clinicians who provide direct services under our model of care are under the supervision and leadership of experienced, licensed, and caring clinicians who ensure that the treatments we recommend align with the American Psychological Association (APA) evidence-based recommendations for the assessment and treatment of psychiatric disorders. This was true in 2018 and today. Thanks, Jonathan Price, CEO

Hi Ann. I am sorry I am just seeing this, but I would be curious to know why you left us a one star review? Please feel free to contact me at j.price@faulkcenterforcounseling.org. I am always interested to hear how we might make our services more effective. Thanks

Chris Cummings

The fact is simple, we are facing a mental health crisis in our country and there are just not enough organizations out there that provide affordable, accessible mental health services. The Faulk Center is leading the charge on this front and I commend them for their commitment to serve those who are often overlooked. I refer clients here often and I hear great things about the strides they are making in the lives of others. Thank you.

Response from the owner2 years ago

Hi Chris. Thanks for the kind words. The pandemic has increased the need for mental health services but fortunately the stigma of talking about mental health issues and seeking help is slowly being lifted. If we can ever be of assistance, please let us know.

Sonja Sales

After 2 hour intake call my daughter was turned away and told to get help for binge and purging when she Even told them that she thought of suicide every day and hadn t binged and purged in over 2 months. A week later I had to baker act my daughter because finding a Dr to help her right away was not going well everyone kept telling us it was a 2 week Waite for an appointment. All they cared about was the intake fee and not the well being of my daughter! Don t bother with this group

Hi Sonja, I am sorry to hear this about your daughter. There is no pain like kid pain and as a father my heart breaks for the issues you are trying to navigate. I can assure you that our concern is not collecting a fee, we want to simply help and if we are not in a position to provide that help, we want to do everything in our power to point you in the direction of help. The initial intake is a vital tool as we look to understand the issues being presented and align them with proven treatments. I would like to hear more about your experience and to see if there is something we can be doing better. In regards to the wait time, unfortunately we, like many other groups that provide mental health services, are experiencing a huge surge in demand. We try our best to prioritize services to those most in need, but at some point our capacity necessitates us to maintain a waitlist. Again, please reach out to me. I want to hear more. - Jonathan j.price@faulkcenterforcounseling.org
