Therapy Services & Information

• Therapy that involves working one-on-one with a therapist to address personal issues in a safe and caring environment.

• Therapy that helps families and couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build healthy relationships 

In therapy, you may learn to pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, which may result in changes. Participating in therapy may be uncomfortable at times and may evoke feelings of guilt, anxiety, anger, sadness, and fear. There will be times when your therapist will help you challenge your thinking patterns and offer different perspectives. Please feel free to discuss any concerns you have regarding your progress in treatment with your therapist. Due to the varying severity of issues and individual uniqueness, your therapist is unable to predict the length of treatment. Your therapist also cannot guarantee any specific result. The therapy process includes intake, assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and discharge planning. Below, you can find more information about these various aspects of the therapy process: 

• Intake - Your therapist will collect information from you using an intake questionnaire. This information includes contact and demographic information, reasons for seeking treatment, goals for therapy, medical and psychological treatment, substance use history, family medical/psychological history, risk assessment, and other factors.

• Assessment - After your therapist has collected information from you using an intake questionnaire, they identify, evaluate, analyze, and address the problems and circumstances that brought you to therapy. This step is essential in the therapist understanding you.

• Diagnosis - This is the process of comparing your symptoms with the diagnostic criteria of a classification system. For example, therapists in private practice and mental health agencies use the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM–5) to provide diagnoses. Insurance companies require diagnoses to authorize payment for services.

• Treatment Planning - This is a collaborative process between you and your therapist which includes the development of a written document that outlines the proposed goals, plan, and methods of therapy. It will be developed by you and your therapist to guide the therapy process and to promote the successful completion of your treatment goals. 

• Discharge Planning - A critical component of your treatment, discharge planning helps you prepare for the ups and downs of life after therapy. Discharge planning begins at the onset of treatment, and includes a plan for you to follow should your symptoms become unmanageable. 

All therapy services are currently virtual and conducted via a secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform.
