D&E Counseling Center is a comprehensive provider of mental health services designed to respond to the many and different behavioral health care needs of families and children.
Anyone interested in obtaining services can call the D&E Counseling Center 24 hours a day at (330) 793-2487 or 1-888-840-KIDS (5437). After-hours calls are answered by a hotline who will then contact our crisis staff, if needed.
When someone calls or stops in and requests services, the situation is reviewed immediately to ascertain whether or not a crisis exists. Crisis cases are immediately seen by a mental health professional for counseling.
If it is not a crisis, a Diagnostic Assessment would be scheduled. After the initial assessment, the family/child is assigned to a therapist, community support worker and/or doctor.
