Fostercare-Children & Family Counseling

Foster Care Counseling

Built specifically for children in foster care, Pursuit of Happiness takes counseling for these kids to a new level.

Our counseling and systems are designed specifically to help deal with the dynamic needs of children in foster care.  CANS 3.0, family counseling, and more are all in our wheelhouse.  Our agility as a counseling organization enables us to have a therapist calling to schedule within 2 business days of receiving the referral, because we know that for children in foster care, time is of the essence.

At Pursuit of Happiness we are dedicated to providing timely, efficient, and effective mental health services.  We believe that no child should have to go through the difficult foster care system alone.  Pursuit of Happiness was built so that kids in foster care can have someone they can count on when they need it most.

Treatment Team Collaboration

We value our relationships with the caregivers and caseworkers and recognize that it takes a village! Our counselors are encouraged to attend treatment team meetings and provide counseling updates with the team as clinically appropriate. 

We are delighted to speak with CASA or the Ad Litem. Before we are able to do so, please send the court order appointment directly to the assigned counselor so we can update our records. 

Additionally, we recognize how important it is for you to receive timely notes to remain in compliance, so we’ve designed a system that allows you access notes whenever is convenient for you—without having to track down counselors or send a million emails!

As soon as we receive the required documents, we will share a link with you to access notes directly that will update weekly as new sessions occur and notes are submitted. Here’s a checklist of all we need to be able to share notes with you and communicate freely with all members of the treatment team:

  1. Signed Informed Consent to Treatment
  2. Removal Affidavit
  3. Court Documents showing medical consenter status
  4. Court appointment linking CASA & Ad litem to the case (if applicable)
