Programs & Services

Access and Intake

Any individual who needs behavioral health or mental health services can contact Hogares for help. Parents, family members, therapists, social workers, probation officers, school personnel and other community members can also make referrals of a child, youth or young adult to age 24.

You will be asked for some basic information to help you determine if Hogares is the best agency to meet your mental health and behavioral health needs. If so, we’ll schedule an appointment for you. If Hogares is not right for you, we’ll help you find the agency that can best help you.

Therapeutic Outpatient Interventions

Hogares offers a wide array of best practices and evidence based treatments, delivered in a culturally competent manner. The treatment is matched to needs identified by you during assessment. In addition to individual, family and group outpatient therapy, we offer Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Moral Reconnation Therapy, the Matrix Model, Motivational Interviewing, and Treatment for Youth Who Have Caused Sexual Harm. Hogares provides psychiatric services including evaluation and medicine management in all counties.

Comprehensive Community Support Services

You are able to access a Community Support Worker (CSW) to assist you in defining your strengths and needs. Together with the CSW, you will develop a plan to address your concerns. Your CSW will meet with you at a location convenient to you — your home, in the community, or at other locations you select, to talk with you and help you to meet your treatment goals.
