Guided Journeys Outreach Services provides services to individuals who present a combination of mild to severe behavioral, emotional, psychological, and educational needs, including those who usually receive various mental health services in the community.
We believe that a holistic wraparound service approach accomplishes positive outcomes for our clients. Our treatment philosophy is founded on the belief that care must be individually centered, family-focused, strength-based, culturally competent, and community-based. Not only does this philosophy establish self-worth and renewed confidence, it also fuels the dedication of our agency.
Guided Journey Outreach Services began as a family-operated organization and remains family-owned as our team continues to grow and serve more individuals and families in need. The organization was founded by three owners whose passion for this work grew from personal experience. They understood the challenges they faced in their own youth, witnessed similar struggles in their children, and saw firsthand how many members of the community were left without adequate mental health support.
Motivated by these experiences, they were driven to create services that reach underserved communities and support the whole family, not just the individual. Being family-owned shapes how we operate today, from the way we hire and train our providers to the way services are delivered. Our team is made up of professionals who are deeply committed to working directly within the community and partnering with every member of a family to create meaningful, lasting change.
