Services
Our commitment is to the wellbeing of every client who contacts us. With each new client we create a carefully tailored care plan which includes clear goals based on the client’s preferences and our extensive knowledge of the latest evidence based practices. Our services include:
Individual Counseling for Adults and Older Adolescents
While research shows that younger adolescents may benefit more from family based approaches, older adolescents and adults struggling with a variety of mental health challenges often benefit from individual counseling with a skilled clinician. Our therapists are skilled in a variety of proven approaches to support you in identifying unmet needs, understanding and overcoming obstacles to meeting your goals for growth, and dramatically improving your overall quality of life. Whether you need support for a short-term period of crisis, or are looking for help in challenging long-standing patterns that are holding you back, individual therapy is a powerful tool for enhancing your potential for happiness, growth and satisfaction.
Couples Counseling
Little is more important to us than the primary relationships in our lives. When these lifelines to others are challenged by conflict, distance, dissatisfaction, and external stressors, it can take a huge toll on our mental health and wellbeing. BAIPS offers both couple and family counseling for those who are struggling with existing primary relationships and individual counseling for those who have difficulty, for whatever reason, in achieving and sustaining satisfactory relationships. Working together with an experienced therapist allows for repair of damage caused by old ways of thinking and interacting, while developing healthier strategies for creating and maintaining deeply satisfying and fulfilling relationships with partners, family and friends.
Family Therapy
Family conflict is often painful, but the very same family challenges that bring you into therapy may provide a pathway to the harmonious, loving and satisfying family life you have been wishing for. At BAIPS we specialize in approaches that have been proven effective with a variety of complex problems faced by a diverse range of families. Working within a safe and structured environment, we support you and your loved ones in finding stable ground in your relationships, healing from past troubles and creating new, healthier ways of relating. If your family is facing challenges and conflict, we can help you both to build a new foundation for your family, and to reconnect with the generations of family resilience each unique family represents.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy
PCIT is a powerful, effective and proven treatment approach for supporting families with preschool and school aged children. Parents often see improvements after just a few sessions. Numerous studies show that within 15 weeks of coaching, significant positive changes such as decreases in caregiver stress, increases in children’s self-esteem, impulse-control and cooperation, and enhanced connection and satisfaction in the parent-child bond.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
EMDR is an effective form of psychotherapy that was developed to treat trauma-related disorders caused by distressing events or situations that have overwhelmed normal cognitive and neurological coping mechanisms. The therapy integrates elements of cognitive-behavioral theory and other treatment approaches with bilateral eye movements or other forms of rhythmic stimulation. This “dual stimulation” distinguishes EMDR from other trauma therapies and can result in the effective access to the traumatic memories which have been fragmented and hidden by our powerful negative emotions. This access makes it possible for the client and therapist to work together to reprocess the traumatic memories, thereby diminishing their lingering effects and empowering the client to move on from the trauma.
Clinical Consultation
Our clinical staff possesses skills and experience in providing supervision to developing clinicians and clinical consultation to licensed mental health professionals looking for support with specific challenges in their work, or to enhance their general clinical acumen. At BAIPS we provide other clinicians with invaluable consultation on specific clinical cases, ethical issues in therapy and professional practice, and ongoing professional development.
