Outpatient Therapy Services
Services are available to assist persons with developing and maintaining coping skills that facilitate the adjustment and integration within their living environment and community. Recipients are empowered to make decisions about their care with the expected outcome of an increased quality of life. The overall goal is to maximize strengths, reduce behavior problems or functional deficits stemming from the existence of a mental health disorder that interferes with the recipient’s personal, familial, educational, vocational, or community adjustment.
Outpatient Therapy specific areas of focus may include:
| Outpatient Areas | |
|---|---|
| Trauma | Domestic Violence |
| Vocation/Education | Coping Skills |
| Relationships | Anger Management |
| Grief and Loss | Psychiatric Illness |
Individual Therapy
The treatment process focuses on the individual’s presenting problems and symptoms. The psychotherapist provides a non-judgmental, non-threatening, strength based and supportive approach in which a therapeutic relationship is developed. The individual is provided with the ability to explore and gain insight into their actions and behaviors within a therapeutic environment.
Couples Counseling
The focus of treatment is the relationship. Couples therapy focuses on the problems existing in the relationship between two people. The psychotherapist will assist the couple in identifying the conflict issues within the relationship and help the couple decide what changes are needed so that they are both satisfied with the relationship.
Therapeutic sessions are provided by Masters Level and Licensed Therapists who assist the individual in planning and care. These sessions usually last 45 to 60 minutes. Some of the evidence based practices applied by the clinicians include but are not limited to: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Psychoeducation, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Art Therapy, Behavior Modification Therapy, Couples Therapy, Sibling’s Relation Mediation. Individual/ Family /Couples Therapy are offered in most Legacy BHC locations for children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and seniors in the office, schools, daycares, after-school programs, and in private settings in the community. Please check the location closest to you to find out more.
Group Therapy
Can help you improve your mental health and help to reinforce and maintain your treatment goals in addition to all of your recommended mental health services, such as psychotropic medication management and Individual therapy. It involves at least one Mental Health Therapist and two or more people in each session and is typically held 1-2 hours per week. The group dynamic often helps people feel supported as they move forward and provides a lasting peer driven support system long after mental health services have successfully been completed.
Whether your personal goal is recovery, healing, improving social skills, or something else, group therapy could help you achieve it. Many groups are designed to target a specific problem, such as depression, obesity, panic disorder, social anxiety, chronic pain or substance abuse. Other groups focus more generally on improving social skills, helping people of all ages deal with a range of issues such as anger, shyness, loneliness and low self-esteem. Groups often help those who have experienced loss, whether it be a spouse, a child or someone who died by suicide.
