Because mental health includes our thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships, mental health therapists help clients grow and heal in these areas. Our team of therapists works with individuals, couples, and families on a wide range of challenges, such as depression and anxiety, behavioral issues, family concerns, and major life stressors.
You can feel confident that your therapist is highly trained to serve you with research-supported tools, including approaches such as:
Therapy services begin with an initial intake assessment where you and your therapist will explore your present concerns as well as history across life domains. Your therapist will use this information to determine a diagnosis and to work with you on goals for the therapy process, such as developing coping skills, improving mood and life engagement, strengthening relationships, or healing past trauma.
Therapy is typically provided by licensed social workers, mental health counselors, or marriage and family therapists. Therapists hold a master’s degree and complete additional training in specific interventions. Our therapists work closely with medication management and community support providers, as well as any other supports that you feel are appropriate, such as school staff or faith leaders.

Movement Therapy is like physical therapy for your nervous system. In this therapy group, you will learn the protective patterns of your nervous system, how to track the felt sensations throughout your body, and how to reprogram old stuck patterns.
These stuck patterns can lead to physical illness, anger, irritability, rapidly fluctuating moods, aggression, and avoidance. In addition to learning the science of the nervous system, you will learn movement and breath techniques that aid in the release of the stuck patterns and associated trauma while healing the body and mind.
Movement Therapy groups are available for both women and men. This class is covered by insurance as it is billed under group therapy.
To learn more, or to sign-up for this group, talk to your therapist or call Behavioral Health at 712.755.5056.
