Similar to Outpatient Therapy, you would meet with a counselor regularly, along with other people who are experiencing difficulties similar to your own. The therapist leads the group and helps to encourage a dialog among the participants. These discussions often lead to suggestions from others on how they may have addressed a similar problem. Most group therapy sessions focus on a very specific topic, like grief, anger or other singular concerns.
Outpatient therapy is the first thing most people think of when it comes to mental health care. Outpatient therapy is simply meeting with a therapist to discuss what’s going on in your life and if you’re struggling with something particular. Outpatient therapy is available both in the office and via telehealth.
Therapists at Four Rivers Behavioral Health employ a variety of evidence-based treatment approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Motivational Interviewing and trauma-focused treatments.
