SERVICES
ASSESSMENT
At the beginning of your treatment and at intervals throughout your course of treatment, you and your clinician will discuss your reasons for seeking assistance and the changes you would like to see in your life. The assessment will cover many areas of your life and background so that the clinician can assess which services will best meet your needs. Your clinician will work cooperatively with you to develop your treatment plan and to choose the array of services that will be best suited to you.
INDIVIDUAL, FAMILY, AND GROUP THERAPY
Counseling is provided by clinicians and can take place individually, with your family, or in a group setting, depending on your preferences and needs. Once you meet individually with your clinician to establish your needs and goals for treatment, counseling will be focused on helping you address these needs and meet your goals. Depending on your individual goals, you may be asked to participate in a group with others who are coping with similar issues. Some groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as coping with depression. Other groups may focus more generally on issues, including improving social skills or helping you deal with emotions, such as anger or loneliness.
PSYCHIATRIC/MEDICAL SERVICES
Medical Services can be provided by Physicians, Physician’s Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and/or Nurses. The doctor will review your health history and presenting needs and will talk with you to assess the nature and severity of your issue and to consider whether medication is indicated. If you are placed on medication, you will see the nurse or other medical staff periodically to monitor your response to the medication and to provide continued assessment and make any adjustments to the medication if needed. We have the capability if needed, via tele-psychiatry, to have a psychiatrist deliver a live evaluation from a remote location.
