Services
Outpatient Counseling
Our outpatient counseling services provide flexible, personalized treatment for substance abuse and mental health issues. Clients receive individualized care plans combining evidence-based therapies, group sessions, and skill-building exercises. Our licensed therapists work closely with patients to address underlying trauma, develop coping strategies, and foster sustainable recovery through weekly appointments tailored to each person's unique needs and schedule.
TMS Therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) offers non-invasive, drug-free relief for treatment-resistant depression. This FDA-cleared therapy uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive brain regions responsible for mood regulation. Patients receive 19-minute sessions five days a week over six weeks, with many experiencing symptom improvement within two to three weeks. Covered by most insurance plans, TMS provides long-lasting relief without medication side effects like weight gain or sexual dysfunction.
Individual Therapy
Personalized individual therapy sessions focus on clients' specific challenges and recovery goals. Our licensed therapists employ cognitive-behavioral techniques, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care to address addiction, anxiety, and depression. Sessions emphasize self-discovery, emotional regulation, and developing healthy coping mechanisms while maintaining a non-judgmental, supportive environment that respects each client's unique journey through recovery.
Group Therapy
Structured group therapy sessions create a supportive community for shared experiences and collective healing. Participants engage in guided discussions about recovery challenges, practice interpersonal skills, and receive peer feedback under professional supervision. These sessions foster connection, reduce isolation, and provide practical strategies for maintaining sobriety while building a supportive network of individuals facing similar struggles in their recovery journeys.
Mental Health Treatment
Comprehensive mental health treatment addresses co-occurring disorders like depression, anxiety, and PTSD alongside substance abuse. Our integrated approach combines medication management coordination, evidence-based therapies, and personalized care plans to treat the whole person. Specialized programs target trauma recovery, anger management, and dual diagnosis, ensuring clients receive coordinated care that addresses both mental health symptoms and addictive behaviors simultaneously.
