About Pennsylvania Counseling Services (Reading Psychiatric) – Reading
Based in Reading, Pennsylvania Counseling Services is an organization specializing in mental health and addiction treatment services. Support is available to clients of all ages and their families. Formerly known as Pennsylvania Psychological Services, they’ve been supporting the local community since 1983. As for payment, they accept most insurance options.
The outpatient services offered at the Berks County location include mental health counseling, addiction treatment, psychiatric services and school-based services. Clients can also access services here in Spanish if this suits them better.
Addiction treatment here is available to teens and adults, and typically involves a mixture of individual and group therapy. Intensive outpatient therapy is available to individuals aged 18 and older, while specialized teen substance abuse therapy is also offered. The style used for teen addiction therapy is contingency management. Case management services are also available.
Clients with concurrent behavioral and mental health issues can also receive the care they need here with co-occurring treatment. For families and loved ones, the center provides a Families Joined support group that meets every Tuesday, no registration required.
In terms of what former clients have to say, feedback is mixed. Some praise the caring and professional staff, with a few members highlighted by name which is great to see. However, others complain of a less than welcoming vibe in the reception area and poor communication around appointments as well as trouble with problem participants in group therapy.
