Individual Therapy
A collaborative treatment based on the relationship between an individual and a psychotherapist
How treatment works
Grounded in dialogue, it provides a supportive environment that allows you to explore and talk openly with someone who’s objective, neutral and nonjudgmental.
You and your psychotherapist will work together to explore, discover, uncover, identify, and change the many issues, thought, and behavior patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best.
At the first session, the psychotherapist typically gathers information about you and your needs. You may be asked to fill out forms about your current and past physical and emotional health.
It might take a few sessions for your therapist to fully understand your situation and concerns, and to determine the best approach or course of action.
There are a number of effective types of psychotherapy. Some work better than others in treating certain disorders and conditions.
In many cases, psychotherapists use a combination of techniques and approaches that will help you explore, process, and resolve the issues that are preventing you from been your best self.
The amount of sessions you need — as well as how frequently you need to see your therapist — depends on such factors as:
Your particular mental illness or situation
Severity of your symptoms
How long you've had symptoms or have been dealing with your situation
How quickly you make progress
How much stress you're experiencing
How much your mental health concerns interfere with day-to-day life
How much support you receive from family members and others
Couples Therapy
Every relationship can be improved with couples therapy. You and your loved one will be guided by a clinician into the process of exploring, uncovering and discovering areas of your relationship that can be improved to enjoy a whole and fulfilling relationship.
Couples therapy, also known as marriage or couples counseling, is the experience where you and your loved one explore the relationship with a clinician.
During this exploration issues that might be troubling and straining the relation are uncovered. The clinician encourages and supports healthy exploration and expression of issues such as: communication, satisfaction, values, the way you treat each other, children, money, and sex. Each will be addressed to make sense of them in a healthy and safe environment.
The purpose of couples therapy is to identify, address, explore, and resolve issues that are troubling the relationship.
Family Therapy
Meant to reduce distress and conflict by improving the systems of interactions between family members
While family therapists often seek to have all family members affected by the problem in the room, that is not always possible or necessary.
What distinguishes family therapy from individual counseling is its perspective or framework, not how many people are present at the therapy session. This type of counseling views problems as patterns or systems that needs adjusting, as opposed to viewing problems as residing in the person.
Psychotherapy Process Groups
A group between 6-10 individuals are treated together, with the help of a trained clinician, to uncover, discover, and explore their issues in a safe, empathetic, and understanding environment. It is a rewarding experience since the group can act as a support network, a sounding board, and a place where ideas, issues, fears, problems, and perspective can be expressed openly.
Process Group
A small number of people meet together under the guidance of a professionally trained psychotherapist
Group therapy sessions offer benefits beyond informal self-help and support groups. Helping people to learn about themselves and to improve their interpersonal relationships.
It addresses feelings of isolation, depression or anxiety and helps people make significant changes so they feel better about the quality of their lives.
Many people find it is helpful to participate in both group therapy and individual psychotherapy. Participating in both types of psychotherapy can boost your chances of making valuable, lasting changes.
Multi-family Process Group
Family issues, processes, and dynamics are uncovered and explored with the help of other family members and other families, in a clinical setting with the help of a clinician
It is a powerful source for healing and understanding about issues and problems within the family. Combines the power and effectiveness of process group psychotherapy with the systems focus of family therapy.
