F&CS is the place to turn when your teen’s problems or, as a college student your problems, seem too overwhelming to handle alone.
Many teens struggle as their mind and bodies change, or after being given greater independence. Support from an F&CS therapist can help you and your teen gain a clearer perspective.
Open Doors provides services to youth up to age 21 who have runaway, are homeless or at-risk of either. When appropriate, the goal of the program is to reunify youth with their parents or care-takers and help them develop the skills needed to have healthy and supportive relationships.
F&CS offers psychiatry services to teens and students that are also receiving services in our counseling program.
Our psychiatrists work collaboratively with the clients and F&CS therapists to assess and, when needed, develop a pharmaceutical plan in response to a mental illness.
F&CS values its relationships with all local educational institutions and works collaboratively with Cornell University, and the Ithaca City School District to ensure our services are available when urgent needs arise.
