Individual Counseling
This process focuses on a single participant presenting for services with concerns related to a wide range of behavioral, emotional, or mental health issues. Goals are related to developing skills and strategies to enhance health and wellness, by improving the relationship with one’s self.
Family Counseling
Involves identified family members looking for an opportunity to address relational concerns and work towards long-term solutions. It is found that most individuals presenting for behavior, emotional or mental health complaints, eventually learn how the family of origin or current family dynamic can perpetuate the problem or substantially assist in resolving it. Therefore, family sessions are considered an integral part of individual counseling.
Bio-Pyscho-Social Assessment
This is a comprehensive clinical process that examines an individual’s functioning in all life domains. It involves collecting and analyzing data about an individual’s family and personal history, current functioning, barriers, goals, and desired outcomes. This helps to determine severity of need and appropriate level of treatment service provided.
Clinical Supervision and Consultation
This service is offered as a series of workshops, seminars and training presentations to other professionals and organizations, that may work with children and families impacted by behavior and mental health challenges, to provide personal or professional development, to support preparation for examination and State Board licensing and offer clinical guidance in best practice therapeutic intervention. These services are provided in a variety of settings that include on-site, in schools, community centers, residential facility, or community-based organizations.
