All sessions start with an assessment

To save time during your first session, print the intake forms and fill them out before your session. Then we can dive right into your concerns so that we can identify and prioritize them. You and your assigned counselor will determine the most effective interventions to help you reach your goals during the rest of your therapy sessions. The assessment gives the information needed to assess the type of services that you need including the type of sessions that are needed, Individual, couples or marriage counseling, family counseling, teenage counseling, one-on-one sessions or group sessions…

When do I get my action plan?

A typical visit might begin with an exercise or activity designed to help you, your child, or each family member challenge their perceptions or discover patterns of behavior. Then we’ll discuss the activity to maximize the insights you gain. These activities can include one-on-one sessions, group sessions, or suggested workshops to maximize your time with the most effective treatment regimen.By the third visit, you’ll have a detailed plan and session breakdown of your treatment goals and the steps we will take to achieve them. You’ll be able to see and share exactly what we’ll be working on each and every time we meet, so your goals stay in view every step of the way.

    One-On-One Sessions

    One-on-one therapy sessions are between you and one of our counselors. In these sessions, your counselor will help you to break down the barriers that interfere with your mental well-being. It can also decrease the internal suffering you may be experiencing while teaching you healthy coping skills to live a more positive life.

    During one-on-one sessions, clients get help to understand their emotions and behaviors from a trained professional to deal with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, self-esteem issues and more.

    Group Sessions

    Group therapy sessions offer many benefits and are an effective form of therapy. They are a great way to help with many emotional and behavioral issues. It helps our clients to learn coping and social skills because of the interaction with other clients who are going through similar situations.

    What happens during a group therapy session?

    Group therapy involves a small number of individuals who share similar challenges and needs. Each person offers to support each other while gaining knowledge and self-awareness about their issues. For example, the group could consist of new moms who are experiencing postpartum depression.
