Counseling for Children
With young children, Lighthouse Behavioral Health believes it's important to create a safe and therapeutic climate where they feel safe to express themselves. Some children are more verbal than others and may need an approach which involves engaging them in activities which lessen the emotional intensity as they begin to share their feelings. Older children may be more open to sharing verbally, but need to develop a relationship of trust with their therapist before divulging significant information about their feelings and personal experience.
With both younger and older children, parental involvement is necessary. The degree to which parent is involved depends on the nature of the child’s problems and the dynamics of the family. Our clinicians believes healthy family interactions are a vital component to healthy child behavior, which impacts all areas of their life including school, community and home. The primary objective in treatment with children is to help them achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle that allows them to interact and function in a way that allows them feel positive about themselves and their relationships with others.
Counseling for Individuals, Couples and Families
When working with adults our clinicians help individuals and couples achieve healthy living by overcoming the obstacles that keep them from feeling good about themselves and their life situation. Adults frequently face many challenges in their relationships with their spouse and family members, which require expert assistance and guidance. They also frequently struggle with internal issues such as depression, anxiety, mood problems and other disorders which restrict their ability to enjoy life. Often there are understandable reasons for an individual’s unwanted feelings. While medications may be helpful in many cases, most people need psychotherapy in order to process their negative beliefs about themselves, others and the world around them. Psychotherapy can help individuals make decisions that are healthier and more beneficial for themselves and their families.
Our clinicians also work with couples by examining the relationship fundamentals necessary for couples to experience a fulfilling relationship with each other. We helps couples develop the skills, attitudes and behaviors necessary to experience a truly loving relationship with each other.
