Individual, Child, Adult and Family Therapy
Therapy sessions are designed to treat a variety of behavioral health issues, including but are not limited to: depression, anger, grief, stress, anxiety, trauma, PTSD (military and other), obsessive behavior (OCD), abuse, divorce adjustment, marital and family reunification, counseling, and employee programs.
Psychiatric Evaluation
Children and adults receive a thorough assessment by a Psychiatrist to determine diagnosis, prognosis and recommended course of treatment. Evaluation for IBHS Wraparound Services for children (ADHD and Autism) may be scheduled.
Medication Management
Brief visits with a psychiatrist will evaluate the effectiveness of client medication or need for change. Clients must meet with therapists to work on long term goals.
Seeking Help
We know that making the decision to seek counseling may be difficult. In consideration of this, our staff and clinicians are dedicated to maintaining an open, non-judgmental environment where all clients feel unconditionally accepted.
