Counseling and Other Support

Portneuf Valley Family Center (PVFC) has provided mental health services in Pocatello since 2005. Our team provides counseling and other mental health services for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. 

We use a customized approach to counseling and other mental health services. Initial visits involve taking the time to get to know individuals and their unique situations so we can establish personalized treatment plans. In some cases, we will work with other healthcare providers to help patients receive professional support.

Caring, Licensed Counselors and Social Workers

PVFC is committed to serving the community with professional and indivualized attention. The PVFC Pocatello staff includes both counselors and social workers who are positioned to provide caring mental health support to Pocatello and the surrounding area.  

Our team includes clinical staff members, two individuals who oversee medication management, office staff, and community staff. Our counselors and social workers have received educational training, hold relevant licensures, and possess professional experience aligned with the services they provide at PVFC.

Counseling/Psychotherapy

Counseling focuses on short-term solutions for contemporary circumstances, whereas psychotherapy addresses longer-term issues. Counseling is intended to help clients find their own solutions and may last several weeks or several months. Psychotherapy includes a number of treatment approaches and may continue or occur intermittently for several years.

Counseling and psychotherapy offer a variety of resources and support systems to help individuals improve their mental health and overall well-being.

Community-based rehabilitation services

Community-based rehabilitation services are collaborative. PVFC employs a home and community-based therapy approach involving a patient and a mental health professional both attending to personalized treatment goals. Community-based rehabilitation services are intended to support improved quality of life for those with behavioral and mental health issues and can be effective for individuals dealing with serious mental health conditions.

Medication management

Through medication management, patients receive comprehensive outpatient care. Medication management includes initial assessment and follow-up checkpoints as deemed appropriate. Medication management can be a valuable service used in treatment for those with depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD), bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Medications can be prescribed from PVFC for patients aged six years and older.

Behavioral health case management

Behavioral health case management is to help connect individuals and community resources. Case management is made available to individuals who quality, and qualification must be determined by a clinician. Case management services are available to qualifying children, adolescents, and adults. Behavioral case management can provide housing and medical care assistance and more.

Psychoeducation

PVFC is positioned to help supply individuals with information about mental health resources. We provide psychoeducation that ranges from tips from reliable sources to information on mental health concerns, coping skills, diagnosis, and more. Our website offers a resources page with links to community resources and a collection of links for both medical and professional resources.
