Mental Health Therapy Services

I. Individual Therapy – Individual therapy is a therapeutic intervention geared to assist the individual in identifying and resolving personal, social, vocational, intra-personal and interpersonal skills. Services are performed to achieve the individual specific goals as documented in his/her Individualized Treatment Plan. The client will explore feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change with the therapist. A client and therapist may work together for as few as five or six sessions or as long as several years, depending on the client’s unique needs and personal goals for therapy. Services are provided by a Licensed Certified Professional at least once a week.

II. Group Therapy – Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people at the same time. Joining a group of strangers may sound intimidating at first, but group therapy provides benefits that individual therapy may not. In fact, group members are almost always surprised by how rewarding the group experience can be. Many groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as depression, obesity, panic disorder, social anxiety, chronic pain or substance abuse. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem. Groups often help those who have experienced loss, whether it be a spouse, a child or someone who died by suicide. Typically, groups meet for an hour or two each week.

III. Family Therapy – Also referred to as couple and family therapy, marriage and family therapy, family systems therapy, and family counseling, is a branch of psychotherapy that works with families and couples in intimate relationships to nurture change and development. It can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. Family Therapy is usually provided by a psychologist, clinical social worker or licensed therapist.
