The Pitt-Johnstown Personal Counseling Center provides psychological support services. It is not our practice to substitute for the treatment services which your son or daughter is receiving back at home.
If it would be professionally appropriate for us to be in communication with the hometown therapist, we would appreciate the opportunity to do so. Of course, your adult son or daughter must be in agreement with any such arrangement, and if that is the case, we would ask them to sign a Consent To Release Confidential Information form. The hometown therapist would also require such a form to be signed.
If your son or daughter had received therapy in the past, it would be a good idea for you to make sure that they are aware of our counseling center. Better yet, ask them to stop by our office to get acquainted. This will reassure them that they do not have to be alone with a problematic situation which may arise during the semester.
