Types of Services

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy is a mental health intervention that can provide tremendous benefits to clients. Through a trusting relationship with their mental health professional, individuals can explore the challenges they are facing in order to gain insight and develop strategies for meeting their goals. Psychotherapy is often used to address common mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or suicidal ideation. It can also be beneficial for those looking to create meaningful relationships and discover new paths in life. Through this dialogue, individuals can gain greater insight into their psychological concerns, understand how they think and feel about things, become aware of their patterns of behavior, explore different ways to solve problems, develop coping skills, and work towards healthier forms of expression.

 

Counseling

A form of psychotherapy that is used to help individuals understand and cope with their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. It is a collaborative process between the therapist and the individual where they work together to explore any issues that are causing distress or preventing them from living a healthier and more fulfilling life. Counseling can be really helpful in gaining insight into oneself, developing self-awareness, understanding how past experiences have shaped one’s current behavior, and learning ways to manage stress and make positive changes. Through counseling people can gain a greater understanding of their own strengths and weaknesses as well as develop new skills for managing mental health concerns, difficult relationships, or emotional distress. 

 

Children and Adolescent Therapy

Children and adolescent therapy is an incredibly important service, providing essential mental health support to today's young people to promote wellness. From play therapy for very young children, to expressive art and music therapies for older kids, therapy can provide mental health services that are tailored specifically to the needs of children and adolescents. Common mental health concerns addressed through this therapeutic approach include anxiety, depression, impulsivity, autism spectrum disorder, attention difficulties, aggressive behavior, trauma-related concerns, and family issues. No matter the specific concern that is being dealt with in therapy, it provides a professional atmosphere where the mental health journey of the child or adolescent will be nurtured. Furthermore, it helps foster positive health habits in children and adolescents at a critical period of physical, psychological, and emotional development.

 

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy is a holistic approach to physical and mental health that helps people develop, recover, and maintain the skills needed for everyday life tasks. It helps individuals gain independence, flexibility, confidence, and improved functioning by participating in activities tailored to their interests and needs. Clients work towards their goals to increase participation in meaningful occupations within their home, school, or community. Occupational Therapists assess mental, physical and social abilities, looking for areas of need for sustainable mental and physical wellbeing. Through a combination of individualized therapy sessions and activities, Occupational Therapists are able to identify and then provide tailored strategies to help improve mental and physical health. The goal of Occupational Therapy is always focused on improving quality of life by catering to the specific needs of the individual.

 

Pediatric Occupational Therapy

Pediatric occupational therapy is an evidence-based disciple designed to enable children of all skill levels to engage and participate in meaningful, everyday activities. It builds on mental health and physical abilities, targeting the development of both social and cognitive skills, which in turn helps the child reach their fullest potential. A pediatric occupational therapist works closely with a child and their family to provide advice and support on developing skills essential for their everyday life, like motor development, sensory integration, play and leisure participation, self-care such as dressing, problem solving and using technology. Through this holistic approach of attaining mental and physical well-being, the individualized sessions focus on improving the overall quality of life in children.

 

Family Therapy

Family therapy is a powerful tool that can help bring families closer together as they work through difficult challenges. By facilitating an open dialogue between family members and helping individuals reflect on how their behaviors affect the entire unit, this type of therapy helps foster a climate of understanding and respect. Through constant communication, education, and skill building, family therapy serves as a secure launching point for positive healing and growth. Family dynamics are complex but with the right guidance families can navigate these complexities with greater ease while simultaneously gaining stronger relationships with each other.

 

Couples & Marriage Therapy

Couples therapy typically involves two individuals, usually partners or spouses, gaining insight into their relationship dynamics and learning how to effectively communicate. This type of therapy provides them with an objective third party who can help identify potential underlying concerns within the dynamic. Couples may gain improved mental well-being from participating in individual therapy for respective mental health concerns in addition to couples therapy. Through counseling, couples can work towards resolving conflicts in a healthy manner and cultivate a deeper understanding of one another.

 

Trauma Therapy

Trauma Informed Therapy is an evidence-based approach to mental health treatment developed with the purpose of addressing the mental and emotional needs of individuals who have experienced trauma. Through this method, mental health practitioners recognize how a person’s past experiences may impact their mental wellbeing and use interventions designed to foster healing and restore balance. This often involves using individual therapy sessions, along with providing education about trauma to guide the therapeutic process. Additionally, Trauma Informed Therapy seeks to create an environment in which clients feel heard, respected, and supported as they work towards healing and personal growth. Psychotherapy is an important mental health resource for helping individuals to process and recover from traumatic experiences. Studies have suggested that trauma-informed therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral interventions, can be beneficial in reducing symptoms related to psychological distress. With psychotherapy, individuals learn how to face their trauma more skillfully and integrate it into their story. Through the support of mental health professionals and techniques such as mindfulness or cognitive restructuring, they can acquire skills necessary to help them gain control over their mental health and find joy in life once again.

 

Parenting Skills

Effective parenting skills are essential for mental health, wellbeing, and overall success in life. Parenting skills go beyond the basic needs of nutrition and hygiene to encompass a wide range of knowledge. It is often beneficial to consult an occupational therapist in order to help guide parents on developing skills that can assist with mental and physical health concerns that may arise throughout the child's development. Such parenting strategies include: understanding individual wants and needs; being attentive to emotions; being consistent with discipline; showing openness to communication; providing guidance on socializing appropriately with peers; establishing healthy limits; and fostering age-appropriate independence. Using these strategies, parents can provide their child with a healthy environment where they can learn, develop, and thrive.

 

Child Development

Child development is an ever-evolving field that involves the mental, physical, and emotional growth of individuals from infancy to young adulthood. It is important for both parents and healthcare professionals to be aware that different ages require different considerations when it comes to physical and mental health. In particular, understanding the normal stages of growth for mental processes such as language and memory helps healthcare practitioners assess for pathological concerns or learning disabilities. Moreover, having awareness of the changes in coordination and strength at each stage of human development allows occupational therapists to create tailored strategies for physical needs. To help children reach their full potential, it is thus critical to keep up with advancing knowledge concerning child development.

 

Play Therapy

Play Therapy is an intervention that utilizes a child's natural love of playing to create an environment in which mental, emotional, and physical difficulties can be addressed. It is commonly used by mental health and occupational therapist, particularly with younger children, as it allows them to access and work through difficult mental and physical health issues in a safe and non-threatening manner. Furthermore, the therapists who utilize play therapy act not only as listeners but also as supporters, playing alongside their clients to better understand their emotions and experiences. This professional but playful approach has been shown to help young people uncovered mental health concerns and then support them in the process of healing.

 

Teletherapy

Teletherapy is revolutionizing the mental and physical health care landscape. This convenient option allows individuals to access mental health care and occupational therapy from anywhere in the world, without the need for an in-person visit. In addition to increasing access and convenience, teletherapy also helps reduce stigmas associated with therapy and gives individuals more anonymity when seeking treatment. Teletherapy provides a safe space for people to talk about their needs without having to worry about judgment from others outside of the closed-door sessions. This can be incredibly helpful for those who are dealing with mental concerns, such as anxiety or depression, and require assistance working through emotions in a private setting. Overall, teletherapy is providing much-needed healthcare options that make it easier to improve health and reduce stressors associated with receiving traditional therapy services. Recent studies have found that teletherapy can be just as effective as in-person services for mental and physical health treatment. In many cases, it can even provide improved results due to the convenience of remote access and increased access to therapeutic support. Research has shown that teletherapy is just as safe and effective as in-person services when provided by qualified professionals.

Types of Care

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a mental health therapy technique used to help individuals identify, understand, and adjust unhealthy thinking, behavior, and emotions. CBT can be helpful for many mental health concerns as it provides tools to assist in managing stress, improving interpersonal communication skills, developing problem-solving strategies to cope with difficult situations, and increasing self-efficacy. It can be conducted both individually or with group sessions and typically emphasizes the importance of examining patterns of thoughts that could contribute to mental health issues. CBT has been shown to be extremely effective in addressing mental health needs and providing lasting mental wellness outcomes.

 

Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that has shown to be effective in promoting mental health and well-being. It involves learning skills such as effective communication, managing emotions, mindfulness, and distress tolerance which are essential for developing strong mental health. DBT combines elements of cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness meditation. It focuses on understanding patterns of behavior in order to help one find clarity when making decisions, reduce troubling thoughts, and focus on building a meaningful life through fulfilling relationships and values. Through systemic change it assists the individual to learn how to navigate the complexities of mental health challenges.

 

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an empirically supported mental health treatment designed to help individuals who have experienced significant trauma in their lives. TF-CBT engages individuals across a variety of modalities, such as cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, relaxation, and the development of skills to better manage and cope with mental distress. It integrates individual, family, and group therapies for a comprehensive approach in addressing mental health concerns that may arise from trauma. Its evidence-based approach allows mental health professionals to effectively treat mental health concerns as they arise resulting in improved mental health for those who have experienced trauma.

 

Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT)

While both Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) share similarities, they have a few notable differences. The main difference between CBT and MBCT is that CBT focuses on changing faulty thinking patterns and behaviors, while MBCT focuses on gaining acceptance and awareness of one's thoughts without judgment or criticism. MBCT adds a mindfulness component to the process where individuals are encouraged to observe their thoughts without getting caught up in them or engaging with them too deeply. This helps create a sense of psychological distance from their thoughts so that they can gain perspective and choice about how to respond. Whereas CBT focuses more on identifying negative thought patterns and challenging them, MBCT emphasizes being aware of thoughts as they come up, allowing them to float away, and then dropping into the present moment.

 

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a mental health treatment that helps people to accept the reality of their mental or physical state, while focusing and committing to actions that can lead to improved mental and physical wellbeing. This approach centers around mindfulness, allowing individuals to cultivate an appreciation for what is occurring in the present moment without judgment or criticism. It also involves helping individuals develop a sense of values-based motivation, encouraging them to take action by what truly matters to them. Through techniques such as exposure tactics and behavior-changing techniques, ACT equips individuals with tools that can support their mental and physical health over the long term.

 

Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a type of therapy utilized to support couples in building stronger relationships. It was developed by Dr. John and Julie Gottman, two mental health experts, who have dedicated their careers to providing couples with insight into effective communication, problem-solving skills, and strategies for managing arguments. Research-based approaches such as the Sound Relationship House Theory and other Gottman methods are used to create an environment of safety and comfort enabling couples to explore difficult conversations, express deeper emotions, identify potential issues before they become bigger problems, and increase understanding within the relationship. Ultimately, this method is designed to help couples reconnect and foster increased satisfaction in their partnerships.

 

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing is a type of therapy in which therapists utilize active listening, statements of empathy, and reflective dialogue to help individuals explore the pros and cons of changing certain behaviors. During sessions, therapists listen to the individual's goals and struggles without judging, shaming or pressuring them into making decisions they might not be ready for. Instead, they focus on helping the individual come to their own conclusions as they work together to identify solutions that will best support the individual's desired outcomes. By establishing a supportive environment and allowing individuals to retain autonomy over their decisions, Motivational Interviewing has been shown to effectively promote healthy behavior change.

 

Person Centered

Person Centered Therapy is one of the most widespread mental health approaches. It allows mental health professionals to counsel clients in a supportive environment and promote self-exploration and personal growth. The philosophy upon which Person Centered Therapy is based points to the idea that clients are innately capable of understanding themselves, even if they need help manifesting their feelings into words or actions. In this therapy, mental health practitioners focus on creating a safe and comfortable atmosphere for their clients to traverse psychological vulnerabilities. Through conversation, the mental health professional guides the client through difficult topics such as life stressors with an emphasis on the client’s potentials and strengths. By exploring both current psychology as well as past experiences, mental health professionals allow individuals to delve deeper into themselves while supporting them along the journey.

 

Sand Tray

Sand Tray Therapy is an effective treatment that allows individuals to express themselves nonverbally in a safe and creative environment. This therapy relies on the symbolism of placing figurines into sand, which represent mental states, experiences, or emotions. Through the process of manipulation and arrangement of the figurines in the sand tray, individuals can explore themselves and those aspects of their life they’d like to understand better or improve upon. The use of sand trays alone, or in addition to other treatments, can provide opportunities for deep reflection as well as a way to work through unresolved conflicts and emotions.

 

Yoga and Movement 

Yoga and Movement therapy are forms of health practices focused on improving mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing by gently connecting breathing and movement. This particular practice focuses on connecting the mind and the body together in order to gain mental clarity, increased mental focus, better physical mobility, and an overall improved mental state. By combining both the mental aspect of being mindful with physical postures within each session, participants can develop a greater capacity for physical reflection within their individual experiences in life. In short, yoga and movement therapy provide an experience wherein we as individuals can encounter our truest selves through mindful intention.

 

Culturally Sensitive

Culturally Sensitive therapy is an approach to care that considers the impact of cultural identity on mental health. This approach strives to create an accepting and affirming environment, recognizing each person’s unique cultural expression. Therapists use culturally sensitive therapy to understand an individual’s background more deeply and develop tailored mental health approaches to best support their client's mental well-being. This is valuable in helping clients feel more comfortable talking about themselves, as it acknowledges and validates their culture. It has been proven to be effective in reducing mental health disparities, enabling a wide range of individuals from all backgrounds to access mental health care that is appropriate for them.

 

Solution-Focused Therapy

Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes finding solutions to problems and thus helps people improve their lives. It is also known as brief or educational therapy, aiming to achieve changes through collaborative dialogue between the therapist and client. Solution-Focused therapy typically involves identifying a person's desired outcomes, exploring current strengths, discussing potential actions that may lead to the desired goals, and creating plans for more effective action. This process ultimately helps the client develop new ways of interacting with their environment and problem solving mental and physical health concerns. By taking a practical and proactive approach, Solution Focused therapy encourages clients to take positive steps towards improving wellness.

 

Internal Family Systems Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy is an evidence-based experiential form of psychotherapy seeking to access and integrate mental parts as well as develop qualities of Self within individuals. By establishing aspects of self-leadership, IFS stands out from other approaches by assisting the individual to look internally instead of externally for guidance. Key concepts such as self-compassion, openness and curiosity, expansion of awareness, honoring mental diversity, and sustainability or lasting growth are fundamental elements in the IFS therapy practice. All together, the IFS process provides the clients with greater autonomy to manage mental health concerns effectively and see them as teachable moments for progress and healing.

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based therapy technique that helps improve the relationship between a parent and child. PCIT is typically used for children between the ages of 2 and 10 who are experiencing behavioral and emotional difficulties. During a PCIT session, a therapist coaches parents on how to interact with their child in a positive and effective way, using specific communication and behavior techniques. The therapist observes the parent-child interactions and provides feedback and guidance in real-time. The goal of PCIT is to improve the quality of the parent-child relationship and reduce negative behaviors in the child, ultimately leading to better outcomes for both the child and the family as a whole. In PCIT, the therapist will often use a one-way mirror or live video feed to observe the parent-child interactions. The therapist will guide the parent in using specific techniques such as praise, reflection, and behavioral tactics to encourage positive behavior in the child. If the child displays negative behavior, the therapist will coach the parent on how to address it in a way that promotes positive change. PCIT is typically conducted over several sessions, allowing the parent and child to practice the techniques they have learned and develop a stronger relationship. The ultimate goal of PCIT is for the child to feel loved, supported, and secure within their relationship with their parent, leading to a healthier and happier family dynamic.
