Individual Therapy
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY is a specialized formal interaction between a mental health professional and an individual client in which a therapeutic relationship is established to help resolve symptoms of a mental health disorder, psychosocial stress, relationship problems, and difficulties coping in a social environment. Types of interventions explored during these sessions may include but are not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, and Narrative therapy. After careful assessment of client's presenting problems and symptoms within the context of the home, FAMILY THERAPY may also be an option.
PsychoEducation
PSYCHOEDUCATION is defined as the education of a person with a psychiatric disorder in subject areas that serve the goals of treatment and rehabilitation (American Psychiatric Association). Psychoeducation provides people with mental health conditions information about the causes, symptoms, prognosis, and treatment of their diagnosed condition. This is an important part of learning to thrive with a mental health condition. This education occurs throughout the entire process of the therapeutic relationship.
Parent Support
PARENT SUPPORT services offers consulting advice to parents, guardians, and families of children who have mental health challenges. The goal of this service is to add an extra layer of support in order to improve the effectiveness of individual therapy and to reduce the stress in the home. Parents with a child in individual therapy are entitled to one free 30 minute consult per month. Parent support consult sessions can be anywhere between 30 and 60 minute sessions.
