Family Therapy
The process of family therapy entails creating a safe, secure, and therapeutic environment where each family member can express his or her thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of criticism or judgment. This is especially true for children and teenagers, who often exhibit some form of resistance in order to avoid any signs of disapproval, disappointment, frustration, or anger from their parents.
Joint family sessions can also assist children, teens, and their parents to collaboratively make decisions about responsibilities, rules, consequences, and rewards. Family therapists typically focus on:
- Improving communication
- Establishing boundaries
- Enhancing family cohesion
Couples Therapy
The Sasco River Center provides couples therapy to address marital or relationship conflicts. Goals of therapy are discussed with the couple at the start of treatment and emphasis is placed on improving communication between partners and contributing to lasting changes.
AD/HD (ADD) Case Management
Scientific research suggests that the optimal outcomes for children with Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) occur when medical treatment is combined with other outcome-based interventions.
The Sasco River Center team works with families to develop an individualized treatment plan that may include:
- Psychotherapeutic Counseling
- Behavior Modification
- Executive Functions Coaching
- School-Based Supports
- Nutritional Guidance
- Medication
Medication / Psychiatry
Some behavioral health conditions are most effectively treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. Sasco River Center clinicians are trained to recognize when a client would benefit from consultation with our medical team. Our Board-Certified Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrists or Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner provide comprehensive services, including:
- Full Psychiatric Evaluations
- Medication Consultation
- Ongoing Psychiatric Treatment
