Treatment

Individual Therapy

During treatment, also referred to as “counseling,” “therapy,” or “psychotherapy,” the provider helps the patient learn to identify and manage the factors that contribute to the patient’s symptoms. The goals of treatment are determined by mutual collaboration between patient and provider. Within an evidence-based treatment model, patients typically meet with providers once a week for a predetermined period of time.  After that, it is common to meet less frequently for a few months as patients and families become more comfortable and confident in using their new skills independently.  Psychotherapy typically comes to an end within a predictable period of time, although this varies with each patient.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy (also called marriage therapy, marriage counseling, and couples counseling) helps partners learn to identify and resolve their interpersonal communication challenges and relationship conflict.  Typically, couples initially meet with their provider for an hour and a half to discuss reasons for seeking couples therapy and to provide a history of the couples’ relationship.  In separate follow up sessions, the provider will meet with each person to learn more about their individual history and how it may relate to current concerns in the relationship.  At the following session, patients work collaboratively with their provider to determine treatment goals and a treatment plan.  Couples meet with their provider weekly until treatment goals have been reached.  After that, it is common to meet less frequently for a few months as couples become more comfortable and confident in using their new skills independently. 

Evidence-based treatments for couples provided at The EBP include:

Solution Focused Therapy


Family Therapy

Family therapy helps families and individuals work on problems in the context of the family system.  Family members work together to resolve a problem that impacts one or more family members.  In the initial visit with the provider, the family will work collaboratively with their provider to determine the goals of treatment.  For our pediatric patients, our providers require family involvement on a weekly basis to ensure the best treatment outcomes for our pediatric patients.  Families meet with their provider weekly until treatment goals have been reached.  After that, it is common to meet less frequently for a few months as families become more comfortable and confident in using their new skills independently.
