We treat the full spectrum of mental health and substance abuse disorders. Treatment is client centered and culturally insightful. It is based on understanding the client's history and personal characteristics. We believe in utilizing creative approaches to treatment and working diligently to engage with clients who may feel uncomfortable with mental health and social services providers. Our professional counselors are supported by a trained administrative staff prepared to support our clients, their case managers, and associated professionals through the entire clinical assessment and counseling process. All therapeutic work is enhanced by our agency's weekly clinical supervision peer review process that assures the most relevant treatment method for each client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is our primary treatment method. We are brief therapy experts and also incorporate insight oriented and alternative complimentary techniques such as Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy, when appropriate.
