Mental health matters, and healing starts here. Many people in Indiana and Kentucky do not know where to find affordable, professional counseling. Personal Counseling Services (PCS) offers a comprehensive guide to healing through a range of services. PCS has provided mental health services to individuals, families, and communities since 1959. Located in Clarksville, Indiana, PCS serves residents across 17 Indiana counties and four Kentucky counties, and the services available may surprise you.
Counseling for Individuals, Couples, and Families
PCS offers individual therapy for adults, teens, and children. Therapists help clients address anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Sessions give clients a structured space to understand their emotions and build coping skills.
Couples and marriage therapy helps partners improve communication, resolve conflict, and strengthen their relationship. Therapists use evidence-based methods to guide meaningful progress.
Family therapy addresses challenges that affect the entire household. A licensed therapist works with all family members together. The goal is to improve relationships and restore connection.
Play Therapy for Children 12 and Under
Children do not always have words for what they feel. Play therapy gives children ages 12 and younger a safe, developmentally appropriate way to process emotions. Trained therapists observe and guide play to help children work through difficult experiences. Parents often see positive changes in behavior, communication, and emotional regulation.
Music Therapy — A Unique and Powerful Approach
PCS employs board-certified music therapists who use music to support mental health goals. Music therapy helps clients reduce anxiety, process trauma, and express emotions that are difficult to put into words. This service benefits youth, adults, and individuals with special needs. It is not music lessons – it is clinically guided, goal-oriented therapeutic work.
Substance Use Disorder Treatment
PCS provides a Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). This program helps individuals in recovery manage their treatment alongside everyday life. Clients receive structured group and individual sessions that address the root causes of substance use. PCS also offers gambling counseling for individuals affected by gambling.
Specialized Counseling for Trauma, Grief, Anxiety, and More
Life brings experiences that overwhelm even the strongest people. PCS therapists specialize in:
- Trauma therapy — for survivors of abuse, accidents, or other traumatic events
- Grief counseling — for individuals navigating loss
- Anxiety and depression counseling — for those struggling to manage daily life
- Addiction counseling — as a complement to the SUD program
Therapists use evidence-based methods tailored to each person’s needs.
First Responders and Veterans
PCS recognizes that first responders and military veterans face unique stressors. The work of protecting and serving communities takes a real toll on mental health. PCS provides specialized counseling for first responders, veterans, and their family members – people who give so much and deserve compassionate, informed support.
Medication Management and GeneSight Testing
Some clients benefit from medication as part of their treatment. PCS offers medication management services through qualified providers. PCS also provides GeneSight testing, a pharmacogenomic test that helps clinicians identify which medications are likely to work best for each individual based on their genetic profile. This tool improves care and reduces trial-and-error in prescribing.
Accessible Care for Everyone
PCS accepts commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, Indiana Medicaid Waiver, and TriCare. For those without coverage, PCS uses an adjusted-fee scale, meaning cost is not a barrier to care. PCS is committed to serving everyone who seeks wellness, regardless of financial circumstances.
