SHOULD I TALK TO A THERAPIST?

Our day program begins with a comprehensive intake and psychological assessment which is then used to develop an individualized treatment plan. Each patient’s treatment plan is customized and is befitting for their needs and presenting issue. We use a wide variety  of evidenced-based treatment modalities to address the needs of the patients we serve. 

Our adult Intensive outpatient program is geared towards treatment of mental health and co-occurring issues. Group therapy is facilitated my licensed professionals (LPC/LMFT), who have years of experience with substance disorders and mental health related issues. These clinicians use evidenced-based practices to promote health healing and positive changes for our group members.

 We believe the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. It is this framework in which we draw from to facilitate healthy exchange and improved interaction within the family system. Often times, in mental health and substance abuse related situations, family members endure copious amounts of emotional distress, mistrust , anger and helplessness. Family therapy is often the first step towards healing. We are passionate about restoring and rebuilding healthy families through the integration of several therapeutic techniques with emphasis on the relationship among behaviors, cognition , affect and environment input. Approaches may include functional family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodrama, strategic family therapy, integrative couples therapy and emotionally focused therapy. We pride ourselves on teaching evidenced-based coping skills that challenge negative and distorted thought processes and beliefs that contribute to ongoing family dysfunction.  We belief restoration is possible for any family system that is one hundred percent comitted to the change process and willing to be uncomfortable to ensure long lasting and positive change.

Each adolescent treatment plan is individualized and tailored to fit their particular need. We use evidenced-based coping skills to raise insight and promote positive behavior changes such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, EMDR, Suicide Prevention, Cognitive processing Therapy, Neurofeedback and Art and Music Therapy, we also believe in the power of family therapy which is an important part of this program. Our nurse practitioner is involved with medication management. Our director is certified in trauma and IFS.

Our individual therapy sessions are provided by a team of highly skilled and clinically astute professionals. The process helps adults and adolescents work through a range of mental health issues they may be facing.  Individual therapy seeks to assist a client in developing and increasing their coping strategies.  The process is tailored to a client's unique needs and experiences.

We take a comprehensive approach to addiction and mental health treatment. Medication is only one possible component that can support a patient's emotional, behavioral and physical wellbeing. Medications are used as clinically appropriate to ease symptoms and support overall healing and recovery. We believe medication alone will not produce long-term positive outcomes however paired with consistent therapy interventions, patients have the best possible chance of achieving and sustaining long-term change. All patients receiving medication are encouraged to participate in genetic testing to ensure accuracy and effectiveness of prescribed medications.Grief and Loss Support Group
