In addition to individual, couples, and family therapy, we also offer a variety of specialized forensic services, including:
Anxiety, Mood Problems, and Low Self-Esteem: Struggles with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder or low self-esteem can be debilitating. Our goal is to help individuals identify situations where these struggles occur and discover the thoughts that contribute to the distressing emotions. From there, we teach cognitive and behavioral strategies to bring about positive change.
Stress Management: It is difficult to find someone who is not negatively impacted by stress. However, constant exposure to stressful situations can cause significant changes in one’s physical and mental health. We focus on helping people identify factors that contribute to their stress levels and on teaching techniques for coping, to ultimately lessen the negative impact of stress in their lives.
Work & School Difficulties: Many stressors occur in workplace or school settings. By learning appropriate stress management strategies, a person’s occupational and academic functioning can be enhanced. We assist people with meeting demands from their employer or teachers/instructors in a productive and efficient manner and teach them skills to manage difficult interpersonal relationships.
Grief and Loss: Loss can reflect a variety of significant life changes: death of a loved one, divorce, medical issues and financial or occupational insecurity, as examples. While grief is a natural reaction to loss, it is experienced in highly personal and individualized ways. We provide compassionate support to enhance a person’s ability to cope with loss and life changes and to work through the resulting emotional reactions.
Trauma Recovery: Trauma encompasses any event that is emotionally or physically distressing and/or produces enduring psychological or physical effects. Traumatic events typically occur with little to no warning and minimal, if any, preparation time. Such events can be large-scale and communal, or more individually specific, such as motor vehicle accidents, life-threatening injuries and various forms of abuse. We offer support and teach proven techniques to facilitate coping and healing.
Sexual Difficulties: Sexual problems can be experienced by an individual or couple at any stage of the life span. These difficulties can cause extreme distress, negatively impacting one’s quality of life. Our staff is trained to work with individuals to assess contributing factors and to teach strategies to lessen distress and strengthen one’s relationships.
Parenting Concerns: Raising children or teenagers can be one of the most rewarding—yet demanding—life experiences. Our staff employs a comprehensive approach to working with both parents and their children to provide effective strategies that can strengthen the overall family system.
Behavioral Problems: Whether the person seeking services is a child, adolescent or adult, our providers can assist him or her with uncovering the contributing factors that lead to problematic behaviors, and with learning practical strategies to prevent the behavioral patterns from recurring.
In addition, we offer specialized forensic services, such as:
Court Testimony: Our trained providers have decades of experience testifying in civil an criminal matters.
Criminal and Civil Evaluations: Court-requested evaluations determine if a person is competent to stand trial, assess his or her level of risk to the community, or offer recommendations as to the type of treatment services that are warranted for an individual involved in the legal system. Several of our providers routinely perform these types of evaluations and are retained by both defense attorneys and prosecutors on the state and federal levels.
Fitness for Duty Evaluations & IMEs: Many times, employers and/or insurance companies will seek independent evaluations to determine if an employee is fit to return to work following various types of incidents. Our doctors will provide a comprehensive assessment and render an independent opinion on the clinical status of the employee.
