What To Expect
Individual therapy
(45 - 50 minute session)
Is specifically set for the individual who has a problem that is recognized as theirs. Examples would be depression, anxiety, panic attacks, adjustment issues, etc. It does not mean that other persons are not involved with the individual's problem but they choose not to help or participate in marital therapy. Examples would be a marital issue when the partner doesn't see the issue or want to participate, or your child or adolescent refusing to attend family therapy.
Family Therapy
(45 - 50 minute session)
Family therapy involves all members of the family (when possible) to address issues of family structure, responsibility, coexistence and problem solving. Family therapy could encompass as few as two individuals, parent & child or siblings. Sessions may be further divided into partial time increments to hear each person's individual points of view.
Therapeutic interventions:
Phoenix Mental Health, LLC, utilizes an eclectic approach to therapy although the preferred therapeutic intervention is Cognitive Behavioral Intervention (CBT) and Trauma Focused CBT (TF-CBT). Relaxation/meditation techniques are also utilized as coping skills in addition to other methods.
What is CBT?
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a common type of mental health counseling (psychotherapy). With cognitive behavioral therapy, you work with a mental health counselor (psychotherapist) in a structured way, attending a limited number of sessions. By helping you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking, cognitive behavioral therapy allows you to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
Cognitive behavioral therapy can be a very helpful tool in treating mental illnesses such as anxiety or depression. But, not everyone who benefits from cognitive behavioral therapy has a mental health condition. It can be a very effective tool to help anyone learn how to better manage stressful life situations.
What is TF-CBT?
TF-CBT is a conjoint child and parent psychotherapy approach for children and adolescents who are experiencing significant emotional and behavioral difficulties related to traumatic life events. It is a components-based treatment model that incorporates trauma-sensitive interventions with cognitive behavioral, family, and humanistic principles and techniques. Children and parents learn new skills to help process thoughts and feelings related to traumatic life events; manage and resolve distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors related traumatic life events; and enhance safety, growth, parenting skills, and family communication.
