About PCS
PCS is your hometown facility for evidence-based models and suicide-specific treatment.
About us
PCS was started to serve the community. It actually stemmed from Rescue Crisis, a community agency focused on helping those experiencing a crisis. Our founder, Derek, was working there and continually struggled with where to send individuals for outpatient services. It was difficult to refer individuals who were struggling with suicidal ideation, and nearly impossible to find placement for the teens that were struggling.
This was the beginning of PCS, which quickly expanded. More clinicians were brought on to work with these individuals and services expanded to working with a variety of age groups experiencing a range of issues. Our services have expanded to meet the needs of the community. The needs of the community led to the formation of the first DBT program in the region, a robust PCIT program, the first RO-DBT program, and the very first CAMS Certified clinician ever!
PCS is not just another counseling center. PCS was developed to meet the needs of our community and to be part of the community. We still support community organizations, like NAMI and our schools, while also expanding what community means. Our goal is to embrace the entire community!
PCS has expanded our “community” to include research partnerships with some of the top research institutions in the country, including Texas Tech University and Ohio State University. We are active in research and publication and replicating the work we are doing in other communities to change and save lives. And it all comes back to this community, our community.
