Individual Counseling
Individual counseling consists of private, confidential one on one therapy between counselor and client. The counselor hopes to build a comfortable non-judgmental environment where the client can feel free to divulge their innermost thoughts, feelings and behaviors that may be causing emotional and physical distress. Through numerous types of therapy the counselor hope to set goals that will invariably bring a relief of depression, stress, anxiety, low self esteem and any other psychological issues that may be present.
Marriage and Family Therapy
Marriage and Family therapy includes couples, premarital, and post marital therapy. During the initial session the couple meets together with the therapist to discuss their collective histories and issues that have been problematic to their relationship. After the initial session the clients divide the session into three parts: Each client meets individually for 20 min with the counselor to discuss issues they are dealing with in the relationship. Hopefully, the individual sessions will provide them some insight into their own behaviors that may be inhibiting their relationship with their partner. These individual sessions are treated as such and are kept confidential between the therapist and client not shared with the others spouse or partner. After the individual time the clients meet together to work on communication styles to help them better work through their issues in calm manner and provide them some sense of understanding of how their relationship got this point. In pre-marital therapy these techniques are used as preventative measures to be sure that there are no underlying issues prior to a lifelong commitment.
When children are involved it is some times necessary to bring them into the situation and have a family session. This allows the parents and the children to speak openly about family dynamics and how they may be impacting the relationships and behaviors of everyone involved.
Child and Adolescent therapies
Children between the ages 4 &11 are seen in our offices for numerous reasons, ADHD, oppositional defiant, conduct, adjustment to life changes, broken families and trauma. At Cassius and Associates we believe the child is a priority in families. We strive to develop loving communication between parent and child. It is the goal of the counselor to present a trusting and comfortable atmosphere to enable the child freedom of expression both verbally and emotionally. We hope to give the parents a better understanding of how to cope with their child's behavior and create a structured environment for the family.
The counselors use individual and family therapy that combines techniques of play and behavioral therapies.
Teenagers between the ages of 12 & 18 are treated for many of the same issues as children. However, they are also dealing with issues of an ever changing society that affects their self esteem and self concept.
