Stage 1: Initial Stabilization and Engagement

The first stage of our process focuses on establishing a strong foundation for identifying you needs. 

Upon agreeing to enter into a theraputic relationship, clients undergo an initial assessment to determine the level of care they require. This assessment helps us identify any immediate issues that require attention and begin building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and transparency.

Immediate Stabilization: For clients in acute distress, we may expedite care to address urgent needs, ensuring immediate support and stabilization.

Continued Assessment: If stabilization is not immediately necessary, we proceed with a more thorough evaluation to determine the best course of action.

During this stage, clients are introduced to foundational skills for self-regulation and coping, essential for managing their initial challenges.

Stage 2: Learning and Exploration

After stabilization, clients move into the learning and exploration stage, where we focus on deepening self-awareness and enhancing the skills introduced in Stage

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP): Clients who need ongoing support but are ready to start transitioning back to daily life can opt for intensive outpatient programs, which offer structured therapy while allowing more freedom.

The final stage of the process focuses on consolidating the progress made and transitioning clients out of intensive care. This stage involves a reflective look at the journey so far, helping clients recognize the changes they have made and reinforcing their autonomy.

Step Down: Clients may opt for a graduated step-down approach, where support is gradually reduced to help ease the transition back to daily life.

Ongoing Support: For those who feel they need continued assistance, we offer extended support services, including regular check-ins and access to support groups.
