WHAT TYPE OF SERVICE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?
There are several forms of treatment that might be effective for you. If you definitely KNOW what form of treatment you prefer, then enter it here. But if you’ve never sought treatment before, you might want to postpone the choice of treatment format until you see a professional for a comprehensive evaluation. That person can better advise you about the variety of treatment options that could be most helpful. Among them are...
Individual therapy: In this format, you address your specific problems with a therapist toward the goal of identifying, understanding, and finally overcoming the factors that contribute to and maintain those problems. Lots of research has proven that the quality of the personal connection between you and your therapist is critical to successful therapy, so finding the right person for you is essential.
Group therapy: There are many variations of treatment that are carried out in Group Therapy formats. For example, there are groups that meet for specific issues and groups that have no pre-established treatment focus. There are open-ended, ongoing groups whose membership may change over time and time-limited groups that only meet for a certain number of sessions. There are groups that emphasize a particular intervention approach (e.g., and those that utilize interventions from many different approaches. Research has consistently found that group therapy is often as effective as individual counseling.
Couples therapy: You may want to get some help with particular relationship issues then this is the form of treatment that may work best. You and your partner would usually meet at the same time with the same professional.
Family therapy: If there’s a problem that affects how a family functions, then therapy that involves multiple family members might work best. While many therapists routinely involve family members in treatment, some therapists are specifically licensed to conduct marriage and family therapy.
Medication management: Medications can effectively treat a variety of conditions, either alone or in combination with psychotherapy. You would meet with a medical doctor who specializes in mental health issues, called a psychiatrist, to best evaluate and treat mental disorders with medications.
Psychological testing: To make diagnoses and guide treatment, psychologists will often use a variety of measures to assess emotional, behavioral, and cognitive functioning. Identifying the factors that contribute to the problem, such as skills deficits, personality and neuropsychiatric issues, is what psychological testing aims to do.
Coaching: Coaching tries to help people move forward with various life goals, such as work/career objectives, relationship goals, and happiness. While licensed professionals diagnose and treat different mental or behavioral disorders, some people simply want help to help others build more successful, happier lives. Coaches try to enhance well-being and performance in career or in personal life, especially during times of transition.
