Multiple-Family Group Counseling

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 90849

This is a counseling session that brings together members from several different families at the same time, rather than working with just one family or one individual. A therapist leads the group to address shared challenges — for example, families coping with a loved one's illness or recovery — using the group setting to let participants learn from and support one another. Sessions are typically structured and led by a licensed mental health professional.
