Individual
& Family Therapy
The Individual

and Eliza Kempner Fund, service fees, and by many contributors,
is available to anyone regardless of problem, age, gender, religion,

afford a service fee. The Individual and Family Program is staffed

emotional and mental health needs for adults, children and families.
This program is funded in part by the United Way.
