One-on-one counseling allows individuals to explore their feelings, relationships, beliefs, and behaviors. This also allows the individual to work through challenging or influential memories, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others, set personal goals, and work toward desired change with a counselor providing unconditional and unbiased support.

Family therapy can help family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. It may include all family members or just those willing to participate.

Clinical case consultation is a supportive and interactive relationship between a licensed clinical case consultant and the mental health practitioner. The consultant’s purpose is to provide input regarding the practitioner’s cases, as well as the practitioner’s professional growth and development.

Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder(PTSD) and related conditions. PTSD can develop when an individual experiences a traumatic event such as physical and sexual abuse or assault, accidents, threats, military combat, or being a witness to violence or death. CPT focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, behavior and bodily sensations. CPT is an evidenced based therapy which means that it has been proven to be effective through rigorous scientific research.

CPT provides a way to understand why recovery from traumatic events is difficult and how symptoms of PTSD affect daily life. The focus is on identifying how traumatic experiences change thoughts and beliefs, and how thoughts influence current feelings and behaviors. An important part of the treatment is addressing ways of thinking that might keep individuals “stuck” and get in the way of recovery from symptoms of PTSD and other problems.
