Apply for services
The CPSD requires an application for all services.
An assistance director my contact you with questions, after reviewing your application, to learn more about your needs and goals. If we can meet your needs, a therapist will contact you to schedule your first appointment. If we cannot meet your needs or you would prefer to be seen sooner than our schedule allows, we will provide you with a list of community resources.
