Services

We provide couples, family, and individual counseling. We also provide gender specific outpatient treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues. We make referrals to local community based support systems including 12 step programs, Celebrate Recovery!, Smart Recovery and other support groups relevant to the individual needs of the family. When needed we will also collaborate with other local and out of state treatment programs to match your family to the best treatment program available including our own treatment program.

Couples Therapy

We invite couples to explore the impact of substance abuse on their relationship with emphasis on building connection. We pay careful attention to areas where couples feel fractured and work with them to mend and rebuild being careful to avoid the blame often associated with the pain that the addictive behaviors has brought into their relationship. We teach communication skills to build empathy and emphasize ways to listen attentively to each other while managing reactivity. We also provide co-ocurring individual counseling for one or both partners to enhance the effectiveness of couples work.

Children’s Therapy

Facilitating therapy with children is a rewarding process. Part of this journey is in creating the life that parents would like for their child by learning about the needs of their child that have been difficult to understand. The family and the child’s goals, and the steps to reach these goals, are developed in partnership with the therapist.

The process includes therapeutic interventions to children, youth and families. Sometimes these interventions are in collaboration with other professionals including those at the child’s school and family physicians. When working with children, the therapist partners with the family to ensure safe and healthy communication and improve family dynamics.

We provide education about making healthy and safe choices. Therapy focuses on several issues including peer relationships, family relationships, school, behavior, and effective methods to manage stress and reduce self-harming behaviors.

Individual Therapy

Mental Health Evaluation

We provide evaluations to assist you in determining the right course of counseling based on symptoms you are experiencing. These evaluations can be useful in determining whether or not to see a psychiatrist for medication and to help you best assess the right course of therapy.

Drug and Alcohol Evaluation

We provide evaluations for personal insight as well as for legal reasons. We recognize that there is often a lot at stake for people at the point that they are seeking assessment for substance abuse. We are fair and balanced in our evaluation process and are careful about labeling individuals with a substance abuse diagnosis making sure to obtain a careful history of use and consequences. Remember, however, the assessment result is based on the information we receive. We maintain a supportive atmosphere and attitude to encourage self exploration and honesty in the assessment process.
