Therapeutic Services |
|
Individual therapy sessions allow the therapist
and client to more deeply explore treatment issues. This process enables the therapist and
the client to develop treatment goals, strategies and interventions that
target the needs of the individual client. Some approaches to treatment can be more brief and solution-focused
by altering specific behaviors of the individual to promote change. There are many effective therapeutic
approaches that focus on internal change. These methods utilize strategies that emphasize the decrease of faulty
logic, clarifying values, understanding and eliminating maladaptive life
patterns, and creating a positive self-concept.

Family therapy
offers the opportunity to gain an understanding of family dynamics. Patterns of communication are

family system.

Group Therapy |
|
Clients can
gain new skills through group psychotherapy which often targets improvement
of interpersonal relationships. The rate and level of social development differs among people. Group therapy allows an individual
to practice social skills in a safe and supportive environment. Group members develop a positive
peer support system which provides empathy and valuable feedback to the
client. Participating in a
group helps to decrease feelings of isolation, and to increase awareness
that other individuals may share similar experiences. The group process allows an
individual to gain insight into the impact they have on others and the
world around them. This process
also presents opportunities to observe personal experiences from different
perspectives, and to acquire health problem solving strategies.
