Therapy Q & A

 

What is Therapy?

Therapy is a form of counseling that focuses on identifying and understanding unresolved personal issues that have a negative effect on your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interpersonal relationships. It allows you to process past experiences and residual feelings so they no longer control your thoughts and actions, resulting in deeper self-awareness, a more positive outlook, a greater authentic self, and a sense of balance and harmony in your life.

 

 

Who can benefit from therapy?

If you’re struggling with issues that affect your mental health, marriage, career, or other life areas, you can benefit from therapy. Family Addiction Specialist provides therapy to a wide range of individuals from ultra-high-net-worth executive professionals and athletes struggling with career pressures, anxieties and transitions to young adults combatting digital addictions or other behavioral issues. Some of the conditions that Family Addiction Specialist specialize in include:

• Anxiety

• Depression

• Stress

• Career performance

• Past trauma

• Relationship troubles

• Communication challenges

• Self-destructive behaviors

• Poor self-image

• Life transitions

Family Addiction Specialist also incorporates holistic, wellness and spiritually focused methods of treatment into therapy such as meditation, mind-body connection work, and nutritional and fitness coaching as well as other forms of therapy such as Hypnosis or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

This multidisciplinary approach helps you become aware of negative thinking, understand the underlying drives behind your behavior, and discover your own strategies to cope with specific challenges.

Family Addiction Specialist will also assess for underlying mental health conditions, sleep problems, or addictions for which psychotropic medications may be beneficial. Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) may be suggested in the short-term or long-term if holistic methods and behavioral changes are not sufficient in addressing your concerns. In such cases Family Addiction Specialist will encourage you to be evaluated by the team’s psychiatrist to determine if you may benefit from medication therapies.

How long will I need to be in therapy?

How long you will need to remain in therapy depends on your individual goals, the types of issues you need to work through, and other important considerations. Unlike more traditional styles of therapy, Family Addiction Specialist strives to get to the root of your issues as quickly as possible while providing the most personalized and quality care that has a positive, lasting impact on your emotional health and well-being.

What should I expect from counseling services?

Therapy is a collaborative effort that focuses on finding solutions and maximizing your strengths. Your therapist will begin with an initial assessment to learn more about your presenting problems and goals, and to evaluate any underlying issues. This assessment will allow your therapist to determine your needs in order to curate a customized treatment plan and to provide the most personalized care. Depending on your specific needs and goals, sessions are scheduled bi-weekly, weekly, or two or more times per week and may last for 1 to 2 hours per session. Deep dives are also available which can often benefit individuals, couples or families who are in unexpected and sudden crisis, with sessions lasting 3 or more hours.
