Clinical Services

Clinical work focuses on mental health concerns that may require more structured assessment and treatment than general counseling. The goal is to understand what is happening, identify the most appropriate treatment approach, and help reduce symptoms that interfere with daily functioning, relationships, or work.

Areas of clinical focus include:

  • Adjustment difficulties and major life changes
  • Anxiety and panic
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress and emotional trauma
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Obsessive-compulsive symptoms
  • Grief and complicated loss
  • Behavioral and non-chemical addictions
  • Other mental health conditions requiring evaluation and psychotherapy

Treatment Approaches

Treatment is individualized after an initial assessment. Depending on the presenting problem, approaches may include:

  • Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT)
  • Spiritually integrated counseling, when requested

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is often used as an initial approach when the problem and treatment goals are appropriate for focused, short-term work. Some clients may benefit from a structured six-session course of treatment.

More complex conditions may require longer-term psychotherapy, psychiatric consultation, medication management by a physician, or referral to a specialist.

Assessment and Referral

Clinical treatment begins with an evaluation of symptoms, history, current functioning, and treatment goals. When another clinician, medical provider, psychiatrist, or specialized program would be more appropriate, referral may be recommended. The purpose is to determine what form of care is most likely to help.
