Our Services
Individual / Family Therapy
These sessions are provided by licensed master’s level therapists. The therapists work with the resident to facilitate awareness of their emotions and cognitive distortions to reduce symptoms of mental illness and cope with various mental health disabilities.
Trauma Informed Care Group and Individual Therapy
Led by a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), these therapy sessions address significant trauma experiences, complicated grief reactions, and PTSD.
Substance Abuse
A Licensed Chemical Abuse program. Residents are screened, evaluated and treated at the appropriate level of care by Certified Abuse and Drug Counselor, CADC. Treatment cycles last approximately 4 to 6 weeks.
Group and Individual Skill Development Sessions
These sessions focus on improving a skill that a resident has lost or never obtained. Examples of skill development sessions include anger management, thinking errors, social skills, communication, relationship building and problem solving.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is an approach that uses dual attention bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tactile taps, or auditory tones) to help the brain to resolve stuck trauma memories. Beliefs shift from those of blame and shame to those of empowerment and healing.
Neurofeedback
This is a way in which we help improve brain function through intensive brain training exercises. The process is simple, painless, and non-invasive. Developmental trauma, early disruption in attachment, and other adverse childhood experiences, have an impact on the brain’s development and can lead to severe emotional dysregulation, chronic dissociation, self-destructive behaviors, social isolation, rage, and fear. Neurofeedback improves alertness, attention, emotional regulation, behavior, cognitive function, and mental flexibility.
