Family Involvement

Family involvement in your therapy may beneficial. The decision to have someone join your session will be up to you. Your therapist will assist you with developing the goal for these sessions. However you define a “family member”, you are always welcome to have an important person in your life become a part of your journey.

Group Therapy

Gavia LifeCare Center will offer group therapy covering a variety of topics. Groups usually occur once a week for 1 hour in length. The length of the group will depend on the goals and expectations for members. Groups will be offered that best meet the needs of our clients focusing on topics such as depression management, emotion regulation skills, and coping with Anxiety. You and your primary therapist will decide the best option for your treatment.

Scheduling that Meets your Needs

Appointments will be available before work, during the day, and after work. We want to be here for you when it is convenient.

Initial Visit

The focus of your first appointment is determined by you. We want to understand how to best meet your needs and be responsive. Our goal is for you to leave the initial session feeling heard and having a plan to move forward.

Primary Therapist Model

Developing a trusting relationship with your primary therapist is critical to the therapeutic process. At Gavia LifeCare Center the therapist with whom you begin treatment remains your therapist throughout your course of treatment. Your therapist is a crucible to hold your pain, suffering, and hurt while you develop the strength to cope with these feelings. When the time is right, you take ownership for the entire range of human emotions with skill and confidence.

Course of Treatment

The treatment philosophy of Gavia LifeCare Center is to offer individualized, person-centered care with a wide variety of available services to include individual and family counseling, group psychotherapy, and psychiatric treatment. You and your therapist work collaboratively to continually assess the best course of treatment. The path may not always be direct, but you are not alone.

Medication Options

There are times when medications are considered in conjunction with counseling. If this becomes an option for you, or something you would like to explore, our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner is available to discuss the best options. With her guidance you can feel secure that the use of medication will be a well-thought out decision and a safe addition to your journey toward improved quality of life.
