Specialized Treatment Services
Trauma
Family Counseling
Trauma comes in many different forms, it has varying depths of emotional pain associated with the event as well as emotional reactions that linger consciously and subconsciously. At Choices!, treatment of trauma is not limited to the telling of your story, but to gaining insight into the negative self messages and beliefs related to the traumatic incident(s). We explore these messages and beliefs so you may gain insight as to whether these are rational/irrational, truth/lies, relevant/not relevant, and/or uplifting/depressing. Choices! has expertise in trauma and we use the most current evidence based practices and treatment techniques. There is not a “one size fits all” and we tailor our treatment around your individual and unique nature.
EMDR
Couples Counseling
Choices! uses this evidence-based therapeutic treatment that takes away intense emotion from past negative experiences and stops the repetitive reliving of that experience. After successful treatment with EMDR, emotional distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological pain is reduced. EMDR has been widely researched and is used for those with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Anxiety
Therapeutically Supervised Visitation
We use the latest in treatment approaches to improve your coping skills, and help you gain insight into the root cause of your anxiety. You will be taught relaxation and meditative skills and encouraged to make lifestyle changes that include stress reduction and physical exercise. Treatment of anxiety requires a multifaceted approach with communication between psychiatrists and physicians to aid in medication management. Your therapist works in collaboration with these treatment providers to best offer full therapeutic services.
