Southwest Family Guidance Center is a certified Treat First Center. When people are in distress, long background interviews and exhaustive intake paperwork can become a barrier to support. Addressing this concern, Treat First provides a shift of emphasis that might seem minor but can make a huge difference.

Treat First recognizes the needs of the client foremost, and makes addressing them the first priority. Intake paperwork is unobtrusively processed after initial support and stabilization is provided. This process can last up to four sessions and is proven to improved outcomes and benefit both the client and therapist involved.
