Some of the Ways We Can Help
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY - Your therapist will work with you to identify and understand your specific needs, your basic problems and offer you one-to-one support as you experience growth.
MARITAL THERAPY - We often work with couples to improve the quality of their relationships. We help them set realistic expectations of their life together, and practice the skills necessary to preserve a healthy marriage.
FAMILY THERAPY - A problem experienced by one family member often affects everyone in the family. Therefore, we work with part or all of the family to encourage the changes that enable families to solve their problems.
REFERRALS TO OTHER RESOURCES - As we work with you we will be assessing your needs, and making referrals for other services as needed. We make frequent referrals for medication evaluations, psychological testing, medical health care, financial counseling, primary treatment for chemical dependence and other addictions, and evaluations for learning disabilities and other developmental disorders.
GROUP THERAPY - Sometimes it's helpful to learn how other people have struggled with a problem similar to yours, to hear that your feelings are normal, that you're not alone. Group therapy can help you learn problem-solving skills.
PSYCHIATRIC EVALUATION - Full biological, psychological, relational and spiritual evaluation done by a medical doctor.
PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT - Psychological testing done by a licensed clinical psychologist.
DRUG AND ALCOHOL ASSESSMENT - Drug and alcohol assessment done by a certified drug and alcohol counselor.
