Jonathan Finck, LCSW began Finck & Associates, Inc., in 1994 as a small private practice, making house-calls
in rural Missouri. Over time others joined the practice and it grew into a moderate sized clinic affording clients both house-calls
and office visits.
In 1999, Finck & Associates, Inc., began offering mentoring and parent aide services across Missouri.
It became a leader in providing community-based wraparound interventions and gained valuable experience in this area.
In 2001, we began offering behavioral assessment and intervention services, bringing together behavioral
techniques with an educational assessment to bridge between school and family.
Finck & Associates, Inc., began providing individualized education interventions in 2003. Certified teachers
and educational specialists assess and construct an individualized education plan to assist the child in reaching their educational
goals.
Throughout the past nine years, Finck & Associates, Inc., has contracted with a variety of residential
treatment facilities to provide a community-based wraparound approach to their client families. We have worked with a variety
of agencies across Missouri. We have seen clients in St. Louis, Kansas City, Columbia, Jefferson City, Springfield, Joplin
and nearly everywhere in between.
In one county we have workd together with the local DMH administrative agent to provide free counseling,
mentoring, and parent aide services to fill a gap left by the financial collapse of a local provider.
Most recently, Finck & Associates, Inc. has established Individualized Supported Living homes (ISL's)
for Missouri's Department of Mental Health. In these homes, up to three people live together in a family environment learning
life skills. These consumers may work at sheltered workshops, attend day programs or hold jobs with businesses in the community.
It is an exciting and rewarding program integrating individuals with disabilities into the community.
We celebrate our 15th anniversary in 2009 and look forward to serving you in the years ahead.
