Eligibility includes all family members living in the immediate household and children through the age of 26 regardless of residence.

Who are the counselors that provide in-person counseling services?

We maintain a diverse network of Masters’ Level Counselors and Psychologists in private practice. Claremont will refer you to a provider that has an appropriate specialty and is geographically convenient for you.

How long does it take to get an appointment?

Our intake counselors will give you instructions for contacting your counselor. Usually, you’ll leave a voice message for your counselor and he or she will call you back within one (1) business day, and your appointment will be scheduled within (3) three business days. In more urgent situations, Claremont will arrange for an immediate response, same day appointment or refer you to the nearest emergency services.
