About Family Guidance Center

Family Guidance Center is a community behavioral health provider in Saint Joseph, Missouri, offering mental health care and substance use disorder treatment to people ages 3 and up across a nine-county area of northwest Missouri. Their approach is holistic, looking beyond the immediate condition to family, work, spiritual life, and relationships, so that care wraps around the goals each person wants to work on. Outpatient services are delivered by a team that can include case managers, peer support staff, substance use specialists, and a medication management provider. Their programs cover Substance Use Disorders, Adult Mental Health, and Children & Youth Services.

For people working through addiction, they provide Medication Assisted Treatment alongside broader medication services, plus education on managing the disease and referrals to other resources in the community. Therapy is goal-oriented and focused on building strengths and coping skills, and individuals and their families are encouraged to help shape the treatment plan. Evidence-based options include cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused CBT, EMDR, solution-focused therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, and the Neurosequential Model of Treatment. They also have mental health professionals who respond to crises around the clock throughout their service area, along with a Behavioral Health Urgent Care Clinic open weekdays from 7:00am to 7:00pm.
