AREAS OF EXPERTISE
MENTAL HEALTH
Is there a mental health concern such as anxiety, bi-polar, borderline personality disorder or depression? We help individuals of all ages facing these challenges to build life skills and attain self-sufficiency with the support of treatment and skill development professionals.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE &
PROCESS DISORDERS
Are you, or is someone close to you, struggling with drugs or alcohol use and related consequences and wondering where to start? We help individuals of all ages struggling with substance abuse and process disorders including gaming, internet, love, pornography, and sex during crises and over the long term.
FAILURE TO LAUNCH
Are you a struggling to cope with an individual who has failed to achieve typical milestones? The transitions can be difficult, and we often see struggles in academic and vocational environments which were unnoticed earlier in life. Over time, isolation or struggles with mood, anxiety and substance abuse can interfere with life. We can help your loved one regain their independence and begin their journey toward a more productive life.
CHALLENGING FAMILY DYNAMICS
Are you walking on eggshells when you are with your loved one? Have consequences to unacceptable behaviors become punishments for you? Do you dread family gatherings? Has your loved one refused all help? We educate family members about the difference between being responsible to someone rather than for someone including setting limits and boundaries, detaching with love, and learning how to communicate more effectively. We can help you gain confidence in recognizing, and giving voice to, your emotions without becoming hostage to them and your loved one.
CREATING & SETTING BOUNDARIES
Setting boundaries and enforcing them often is a struggle for families and businesses, especially when there are different ideas of what constitutes acceptable behaviors. Our team helps set expectations using behavior agreements by guiding the development of a mission statement to establish common goals and values. Behavior agreements delineate goals, boundaries, and consequences and rewards. They create an environment where all have a voice to re-establish communication, start to re-build trust, and can be effective as triggers to treatment as well as required before returning home and/or to the work place.
LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT
Is there a struggle with task initiation and completion? Our team can help clients to move forward, overcome roadblocks, develop plans and take actions to achieve their goals
ACADEMIC RECOVERY
Do you think that a compromised educational record means returning to college or graduate school is no longer an option? An academic record impacted by mental health or substance use issues does not end the pursuit of educational dreams. There are many approaches to salvaging academic history to pursue re-admittance or application for higher education.
SAFE TRANSPORT
Need to transport a client to treatment safely? Our team will manage all travel details, leveraging available loyalty points and redemptions when possible. Clients will be observed at all times which provides the opportunity to gain collateral information which will be communicated to the treatment providers to support the clinical intake and treatment process.
EATING DISORDERS
Has your family member experienced a rapid weight loss and required medical attention? Our team members can facilitate an intervention, facility placement, coordinate a clinical team, and provide community based support.
