Reviews of Harbor Area Counseling Services
"Harbor Area Counseling Services is a gem. It is nearly impossible to find a counseling agency where you can receive outstanding counsel from well trained therapists. They offer a sliding scale and are incredibly willing to work with their clients. I am proud to say that I have worked here and I have referred many!"
"In 2012, Dario Ghio, then Owner of HACS Inc. separated me from my traineeship at HACS Inc under false pretenses. He falsely accused me of negligence, while in fact, he had led me through suggestion to complete work in a way that he would later find fault with."
"I had the pleasure of working at Harbor Area Counseling Services for two years as an MFT Trainee and Intern. I have now been a therapist for over five years and have never worked for an organization that was as humanistic, client-centered and compassionate as Harbor Area. Clients are treated as unique individuals and there is a strong focus on providing timely and effective client care. The Director, Dario Ghio, personally ensures that each potential client is matched appropriately to a therapist based on the therapist's skill level and expertise and the client's needs and goals for therapy. Almost 100% of client requests for services are answered within 48 hours to schedule an intake appointment, regardless of weekends. Appointment scheduling is flexible, allowing clients to be seen for appointments at times that are convenient for them, including mornings, nights, weekends, and holidays. Special attention is paid to co-occurring and crisis issues. While the majority of the staff are Trainees and Interns, each staff member is either enrolled in or has completed a full-time Master's level training program in Marriage and Family Therapy, Counseling, or Psychology, and has completed appropriate coursework in law and ethics, child abuse, basic counseling skills, and other essential classes. Trainees and Interns receive a wide variety of training, including on-site weekly supervision and consultation with licensed therapists and peers, training in evidence-based practices, cultural sensitivity, and additional work experience with special populations, including children, teens, groups, couples, families, and substance use treatment. Rigorous evaluation of all staff occurs on a regular basis. Harbor Area does not allow for Trainees or Interns to provide therapeutic services if they do not continue to show advancement in their counseling skills and adhere to strict law and ethical practices as established by the state of California and the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. Harbor Area's facilities offer individual and group therapy rooms, including a specially designed child therapy room, which allows for effective treatment of children using sandtray and play therapy modalities. Harbor Area also provides a sliding scale fee schedule to ensure that therapeutic services are not cost-prohibitive to clients. There is a strong focus on community outreach, with Harbor Area partnering with several local schools and child and teen organizations to offer groups in substance use, anger management, social skills, communication skills, and self-esteem building. As a past staff member, it was my personal experience that the staff are genuinely caring and kind to one another and to the clients that are served. There is a great deal of administrative, technical, and clinical support available to all staff and an open-door policy, which ensures that all staff are able to communicate and support one another consistently and effectively. In addition, self-care and professional burnout is regularly addressed in clinical supervision and team meetings, ensuring that staff members, especially those newer to the field of therapy, are well-supported and have opportunities to address their own struggles and challenges. Staff members of Harbor Area have gone on to work at public and private therapy officers, schools, social services, at colleges as professors, and to pursue advanced, doctoral level degree programs in Psychology. I am extremely honored to say that I had the opportunity to work and learn at Harbor Area for two years. I personally saw the dedication, compassion, and teamwork of all of the staff and witnessed first-hand the positive changes that occurred for our clients. I continue to have past clients contact me to let me know how they continue to use their skills and to meet the goals they established at Harbor Area and to express their feeling that they were genuinely cared for. I would highly recommend Harbor Area without hesitation to any potential clients or staff."
