Services:
- Psychotherapy
-- Individual, Family, Marital, and Group therapy is available
for children, adolescents, and adults.
- Therapy groups for children, adolescents,
and young adults -- The primary focus of our group
work is building self-esteem and self-confidence through the development
of healthy relationships. Our groups provide experiences of self-expression,
interpersonal feedback, mutual acceptance and success in relationships.
It is our belief that these experiences are beneficial for young
people with a variety of emotional concerns and behavioral problems.
As group leaders our responsibilities include:
providing a safe and supportive atmosphere; stimulating group
cohesion; fostering openness to the perspective of others; encouraging
both discussion and resolution of relationship issues within the
group; fostering relevant and reality based discussion; and providing
adult perspective and information pertaining to mental health
concerns.
We use a variety of exercises to both promote group cohesion and
provide opportunities for self-expression. While we initiate activities
and take a central role in the groups, our goal is to assist the
members in asserting their own needs, perceptions, and interests.
- Psychological Evaluations and Testing
-- Evaluations of intellectual, academic, and/or personality functioning
are available. The specifics of the evaluation are determined
by the needs of the child and the questions to be addressed.
