Make an Appointment
Call (828) 259-3369 to make an appointment for accessing therapy. When calling, you will be referred to ASCC’s Clinical Manager. We do not accept walk-ins.
The Clinical Manager will ask you a few questions to determine whether our services are appropriate, which will include the reason(s) you are seeking counseling. If appropriate, you will be set up with one of our therapists and you will receive a call from him/her to schedule your first appointment. It can take one to three weeks for you to receive this call from the therapist.
Psychiatric Services
We have a board-certified psychiatrist who provides evaluations and may prescribe medication as indicated for current clients who are referred by their ASCC therapist. We assist clients in obtaining low-cost or free medication from pharmaceutical companies when indicated and available. Once stable on medication, clients are referred back to their primary care doctor or a psychiatrist in the community to follow their medication long term.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Groups
We offer DBT groups for people who are in individual therapy with a therapist either here at ASCC or with another private therapist. Call the Center for more information.
Fees for Services
We provide counseling services on a sliding scale fee basis based on your annual household income and ability to pay. We do not accept Medicare, Medicaid, or private insurance.
Your therapist will explain the procedure for a referral to our psychiatrist and the fees associated with this service.
