Treatment
It is our belief that a holistic approach utilizing the expressive arts engages the body, mind, and spirit in the path to wellness. To augment our clinical practices and best meet the individual needs of those we serve, we offer a variety of treatment modalities.
Program Therapists are LCSW's and LCPC's providing therapy, at a minimum frequency of two times per week for individual, daily group facilitation and family therapy once per week. Our exceptional team of therapists possesses certifications and specialties in numerous areas including Spanish speaking, Substance Abuse, Art Therapy, Yoga Instruction and Play Therapy. Therapists are available 7 days a week.
Expressive Therapy is offered through art, dance/movement and drama. We have 3 full-time expressive therapists and 2 part-time, all of whom are Masters level clinicians providing group therapy six days per week. Individual expressive therapy is also offered.
In addition to the above expressive therapies, Yoga and Pet Therapy are each offered weekly. Pet Therapy is facilitated through an outside agency that guides the interventions towards specific goals such as impulse control, social skills or empathy. Yoga is led by one of our program therapists who is also a certified yoga instructor.
Occupational Therapists are Masters level clinicians who help develop the skills and obtain the supports necessary for independent, interdependent, & productive living through assessments and psychosocial groups. Groups include creative interventions that are designed to help learn to engage in and cope with daily life tasks, as well as promote overall wellness. Activities are specific to the population with which the therapist is working such as age, developmental level and overall functioning. Environmental modifications are also made to address the needs of those we serve by ensuring a sensory-enriched milieu.
The Coordinator of Therapeutic Services is a psychologist who is integral to developing plans for those patients requiring more specialized interventions. This person ensures the resources necessary to carry out the plan are available as well as provides leadership, education and clinical support to the staff.
The team of Administrative Milieu Coordinators (AMC's) is Mental Health Associates who have demonstrated expertise and leadership in serving our patients with respect, patience and compassion. They are highly skilled in pre-crisis invention and “float” throughout the hospital providing support to staff and patients as needed. All of our AMC's are certified CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention) instructors.
