Lakeview Center at Walton County – formerly Chautauqua Healthcare Services – works to strengthen families and make a positive impact from our location in DeFuniak Springs. The team provides counseling to a variety of people experiencing a wide range of behavioral health and substance use issues. Beginning in 1973 as the Walton County Guidance Clinic, with one program and a staff of two, we now serve more than 4,000 clients annually through 20 programs, and employs more than 100 professional and support personnel. Much of Chautauqua Healthcare Services' daily activity involves counseling normal people with normal problems - in their marriages, with their children, at their jobs, and other situations which may cause stress or depression. Individual, group, or family therapy may be recommended depending upon the nature of the problem. Treatment helps many normal people understand their problems more fully and lead happier, more satisfying lives.
