Our services are tailored based on your individual needs. Once the initial interview/screening is completed along with a comprehensive assessment, you will identify specific goals to work towards for the duration of your sessions. Sessions range from 30mins, 45mins, or 60mins weekly. Often, as sessions progress, or as progress is made, you may require less frequent sessions such as bi-weekly or monthly. Throughout each session, various techniques, interventions, and methods are utilized including evidenced-based materials, information, handouts, worksheets, talk, role-play, active listening, and ethical practices to address all past and presenting issues as needed and appropriate. Proper coping strategies are explored for solution-focused approaches to positive outcomes.
All sessions are confidential and will remain as such at the best practices of this agency/company and its staff or contractors. *The only time confidentiality may be breached is when 1. An individual becomes suicidal or homicidal and significant risk to self/others is determined, 2. If it is determined the individual or someone else is being abused, neglected, or at risk of harm, 3. If individual chooses to hold session in a place/environment not private or secure such as around family members, friends, or in a public place, 4. The use of Distance & Technology Assisted services (Telehealth) has its limitations, glitches, faults, and can be hacked. Also, not all means of communication are HIPAA compliant, and 5. In the case of courted-order release of an individual's information/documentation or files may result in breach.
Needs and preferences are based on each individual.
