Overview of Our IN-HOME Programs
First, a quick word about our programs...
El Paso Family Mentoring and Counseling Services is an ADHS licensed counseling facility that provides both Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Home-Based and Community-Based services. We service the General Mental Health Community, aged 2 to 65+, in Maricopa, Pima, Gila, and Pinal Counties!
Here is a look at our programming!
Family System Based Assessments:
When doing an assessment for an identified client we look at the whole Bio-Social environment. Our assessment is comprehensive, sometimes requiring multiple steps, meaning, we are not only assessing the identified client but also the entire family and community system, recognizing that each is an integral component of the individual’s healing, growth, and development.
I-IOP - Individual Intensive Outpatient Services:
Our intensive outpatient program is truly unique to the industry. We take an individualized approach to this treatment, and it is done in-home and one-to-one. Our I-IOP service runs 10 or more hours a week depending on medical necessity. At the assessment we identify the most beneficial therapeutic intervention, working with the client’s base skills to help them build stability and develop a crisis plan. We utilize evidence-based models of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy throughout our I-IOP planning. Our goal is to ensure the client has the skills that will reduce their need for hospitalization, crisis services, substance use and self-harm. Our team of clinicians meet weekly to discuss the continued need for the I-IOP level of services, and, in the best interest of the client, we reduce hours, titrating them off the I-IOP services. This service is provided for Adolescents and Adults. The maximum length of the I-IOP level of services would be at 6 weeks.
Crisis Hospitalization Follow-up:
With the goal to reduce substance use, self-harming behaviors, crisis utilization and hospitalization, our Crisis Hospitalization Follow-up provides one-on-one, individual support to help the client with immediate skill development for direct application in the areas causing them distress.
This program helps both Adolescents and Adults who have:
- Frequent hospital/crisis utilization
- Issues applying coping skills when they return home
- Complicated home environments
Chronic Pain:
Our Chronic Pain Program is designed to help adults that are experiencing:
- Persistent chronic pain

- Limited or reduced daily activities due to their pain
Ongoing Health Concerns:
This program is specifically tailored to minimize the ongoing health concerns of Adults that:
- Have persistent medical or health problems
- Feel overwhelmed with current health concerns
- Struggle with maintaining health due to missed medical appointments, poor follow-up or just a large number of appointments

Behavioral Coaching:
Behavioral Coaching is a program created and structured to help:
- Children, Adolescents and Adults in supportive settings

This is done to increase:
- Consistency for the client
- Progressional and development of life activities
- Use of coping skills and communication
Outpatient Counseling and Mentoring Services:
Whenever mentoring is needed, we provide guidance in the development of the behavioral skills necessary to negotiate life's most challenging situations through independent skill building, connecting with community resources and ensuring community resource education.
When counseling is required, we are ready to listen to each individual’s story, to learn of the pain and hardships, to analyze the reasons behind the suffering and to share the most advantageous avenues of recovery and restoration. The evidence based practices we use are EMDR, Expressive Therapies, Mindfulness, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Equine Therapy, the SAMHSA Co-Occurring Model, the SAMHSA Peer Support Model and the SAMHSA Supportive Employment model.
