Diagnostic Assessments. A diagnostic assessment is a comprehensive, written evaluation conducted by a mental health professional who works closely with an individual to determine the need for care and recommend appropriate services. The mental health professional conducts an interview and gathers information such as:.
The nature, severity and impact of current symptoms. Functional impairment. Relevant family and social history. Strengths and resources. What happens in individual, group and couples or family counseling sessions depends on the unique needs and contributions of the individual s seeking help. Our psychologists, social workers and licensed professional counselors work to empower individuals to build the skills needed to maximize their potential for positive growth and change.
Individual Therapy. Individual therapy is a collaborative, personal relationship between an individual and a counselor that takes place in an open, supportive, and confidential environment. Individuals will receive guidance and develop insight to help maximize their potential for positive growth and change. Individual therapy can assist with resolving an issue, recovering from traumatic experiences, exploring thoughts and feelings, examining beliefs and working toward making healthy changes in your life.
The frequency and length of treatment varies depending upon the specific concerns. Group Therapy. Unlike individual therapy where there is only a relationship between a patient and counselor, group therapy offers multiple relationships to assist the individual in growth and problem solving. Group members are encouraged to discuss the issues that brought them into therapy openly and honestly. The therapist works to create an atmosphere of trust and acceptance that encourages members to support one another.
The number of sessions in group therapy depends upon the group's makeup and the goals. Some groups are time limited, with a predetermined number of sessions known to all members at the beginning. CST clinicians help individuals reduce crisis episodes, obtain stable housing, connect with vocational opportunities, improve social skills, coping skills, and activities of daily living to help them be more independent.
