Counseling

For anyone in the community dealing with long-term illness and pain, grief and loss, planning and making decisions for care for a senior or for someone facing medical issues, caregiver stress, and other difficult life transitions, the Passages counseling program can provide help.

Passages offers support from licensed clinical social workers experienced in helping people work through medical and emotional challenges. One-on-one or family counseling is available.

Therapy is focused on your goals, and is often short term. Frequently the issues are addressed in just a few visits, although counseling may extend over more visits if needed.

Passages can address many situations, including:
  • Providing information about various senior living options, such as assisted living and nursing facilities.
  • Concerns about how to help an aging parent.
  • Struggles associated with chronic illness and pain.
  • Prolonged grief following the loss of a loved one.
  • Loneliness in retirement.
  • Facilitating difficult family discussions.
  • Thinking through options for medical treatment.
Passages social workers protect client privacy according to state and federal laws and the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers.


Location

Services are available in a comfortable office setting at Kansas City Hospice House, 12000 Wornall Road, Kansas City, Mo. Clients who have limited mobility or older adults who have questions about various senior living options, such as nursing home and assisted living facilities, may receive services in their own home if desired.


Payment

Services may be covered by private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. Or, you may elect to pay privately. As part of a nonprofit organization, Passages makes every effort to provide services regardless of clients’ financial resources.
