Rise ‘N’ Shine Counseling Agency provides Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) to youths ages 11 to 17 and their families. MST is a family focused, home based counseling program that concentrates on youth with behavior problems at home, school, and in the community, such as:

• Serious disrespect and disobedience
• Aggressive behavior (fighting and destroying property)
• Suspensions/Expulsions from school
• Stealing
• Drug and alcohol problems
• Running away
• Truancy

The ultimate goal of MST is to empower parents with the skills and resources to independently address the difficulties that arise in raising their children.

MST is research-focused and outcome-driven. MST has been proven to decrease the rates of high school drop-outs, incarceration and out-of-home placements.

Services are provided in the home by a trained master’s level therapist. The average duration of services is 3 to 5 months. Services are available 365 days per year, with staff being on call 24/7. Only youth who receive Medicaid are accepted at this time.
