how it works

The first step is to schedule an pre-intake consultation to learn more about our approach and provide us with some background information to help us ensure that we are the right fit for you. We recognize that finding the right treatment providers is immensely important and we are committed to helping you navigate this process. In the event we come to the conclusion that this approach is not feasible, we will provide you with other options to explore and consider.

If you determine that our services is consistent with your needs and preferences, we will conduct a comprehensive asessment consisting of a self-reported history, collateral information from family members and relevant professionals. This process is immensely important in helping us develop an individualized treatment plan that will be consistent with your desired goals and objectives.

Subsequent to obtaining a thorough history, we will assemble your care team. Your care team will provide you with counseling, coaching and case management support. This is a collaborative process and your input and feedback is immensely valuable to us. All providers receive regular individual and group supervision and engage in ongoing consultation to promote continuity of care.

The TEAMS program is a 3 phase multi-disciplinary approach consisting of 6 domains (emotional, health, social, recreational, life and career skills.  

The primary focus of the first phase is assessment, psycho-education, stabilization, and establishing rapport (emotional, social, recreational, life skills and health and wellbeing).  

In the second phase of treatment we start to focus on establishing educational and vocational goals and engagement in real-world opportunities to deal with challenges and practice using new skills and techniques.

 The focus of the third and final phase is lifestyle balance and engagement in meaningful activities that will promote self-confidence and resilience.

Duration and intensity of care is based on severity of symptoms, consistency of engagement, adherence to treatment plan and desired goals and objectives of treatment.

The treatment schedule consists of individual counseling, family counseling, coaching and case management sessions, mutual support meetings or support groups, psychiatry or medical appointments. All services are provided in-person or virtually.
