Individual Psychotherapy
Individual psychotherapy is an essential component of mental health as it provides a safe and confidential space for individuals to explore and address their emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges. Through the therapeutic relationship built with our clinical professionals, you can expect to gain self-awareness, insight into your thoughts and feelings, and develop coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety, and other mental health issues.
"The personalized nature of individual therapy allows our therapists to tailor interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each client, fostering a deeper understanding of oneself and facilitating personal growth and positive change... Individual psychotherapy empowers individuals to build resilience, enhance their emotional well-being, and improve their overall quality of life." - Dr. Juan Rios

Intensive In-Community Services
Intensive In-Community Services are flexible, multi-purpose, in-home/community clinical support services for parents/caregivers/guardians and children/youth with behavioral and emotional needs. The purpose of these I.I.C. services is to strengthen, stabilize and preserve the family unit in the community setting. I.I.C. services are flexible both as to where and when they are provided. Intensive In-Community Services are designed to support the recipient at the time of day when the services are most needed and when the family may be most receptive to therapeutic intervention and skills training. This family-driven treatment is based on targeted needs identified in a comprehensive treatment plan. The treatment plan also includes specific intervention(s) with target dates for accomplishment of goals that focus on the restorative functioning of the child/youth with the intention of:
• Stabilizing the child/youth`s behavior(s) that led to the crisis
• Preventing/reducing the need for inpatient hospitalization
• Preventing the movement of the child/youth`s residence
• Preventing the need for out-of-home living arrangements
Intensive In-Community Services also aid in facilitating a child/youth`s transition from an intensive treatment setting, back to his/her community. Services are delivered with the goal of diminishing the intensity of treatment over time.
The following are some of the possible interventions that may be implemented.
• Individual and family therapy
• Clinical consultation/evaluation
• Child/youth behavioral management
• Family counseling/psycho-education
