Assessment & Evaluation

  • Consists of a series of routine questions asked of potential clients, including current concerns, family history, diagnostic impression, and treatment goals

  • Licensed, experienced professionals complete assessments which are then reviewed by our multidisciplinary team to determine an appropriate course of action

  • Court-ordered evaluations are also available

 

Counseling:  Individual, Family & Group

  • Counseling assists individuals with understanding their problems, setting specific goals that help to resolve those problems, and to work towards those goals 

  • Individual counseling:  the client works in confidence with just one other person, the therapist.  Because this is an exclusive, one-to-one relationship, the therapist can tailor treatment to meet the client’s specific needs

  • Family counseling:  the therapist helps family members learn how to work together on family issues.  Sometimes just one family member is the client and other family members participate in order to learn how to help this individual

  • Group counseling:  clients who share similar problems work together to discover possible solutions and to encourage each other to change. The therapist facilitates the group by suggesting topics and by encouraging participation
