Working Together
We understand how important it is for your therapist to be someone you can talk to easily. Our goal is build a therapeutic relationship to identify the most effective solutions that meet your individual needs and unique circumstances. Listening and truly understanding your concerns is critical to the therapeutic process. We are always interested in knowing if we are being effective in helping you make the changes you desire.
Motivation for Change
Sometimes you aren't sure if you want to make real changes in your life. Maybe you are just beginning to think about the possibility of change. Or perhaps other people in your life are pointing out problems and suggesting that it might be a good time to get some help. Or maybe friends, family members or even employers are pushing you to address problems and make changes.
Our treatment staff is here to listen and help you begin to sort through the disadvantages and advantages of real behavioral change. Even if you aren't yet sure about what changes you want to make, we can help.
Building Support for Recovery
The support of a spouse, family members and significant others is often critical to successful recovery, and we encourage them to participate in your treatment. However, some people can be an obstacle to successful treatment. We will work to guide you in making the best decisions regarding those to include in your treatment.
Evidenced-Based Practices
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Stages of Change, Mindfulness and Sensory Interventions are some of the evidenced-based therapy approaches used by members of our treatment team.
