Service delivery takes on many forms and functions when it comes to delicate life, mind, and matters of the heart. A therapist’s specialty is their calling card and often what brings you to them in the first place.
Individuals are not the only ones who benefit from therapy. When couples and/or family become part of the equation, they then become the person served. The plan is driven based on intentionally driven focal points that foster recovery and progress for who and what matters most to you.
Reliance Counseling, LLC. focuses on crafting an approach that is unique to the individual’s needs. Goals are crafted with the person served right at the center of it all. Individuals, families, couples, and adolescents receive an initial consultation. Then an intake occurs and areas of address are identified. A treatment plan is written along with goals, objectives, and an endpoint in mind. Every case is different. The length of time therapy is needed is identified and re-evaluated based on progress.
THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS
Reliance provides an eclectic approach that allows for adaption to many issues, many individuals, and is not limited to a singular discipline or practice. James is most comfortable framing therapy sessions from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective but is not limited to just these principles.
CBT is best suited for short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy through practical and problem-solving interventions. Changing the way we thing and behave often changes the way we feel, thus covering many topics. CBT is great but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship problems, sleeping difficulties, drug and alcohol abuse, and even career related problems.
ENVIRONMENT AND AWARENESS
Reliance also favors the utilization of a mindful based dynamic that improves awareness of one’s self and how they interact with their environment and the people in it. This tool is found at the center of an approach known as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, a distant cousin of CBT. Extreme emotional swings, inflexible concrete thinking, and crisis after crisis are characteristics of an emotional pendulum that is best suited to this type of treatment. Reliance borrows techniques that suit the individual’s plan and needs and adapts what is needed to improve their outcomes.
DBT is a long-term based approach and is best suited for building on strengths and refocusing on the present and applying it to daily life. Thinking of that which is good, true, and admirable about our experiences and life. Mindful based techniques emphasize limitation of distractions and worry, reducing anxiety, thought blocking, and anger or self-harming behaviors.
If therapy alone is incapable of addressing crisis or behavioral concerns, Reliance Counseling, LLC. utilizes a professional referral network that adds access to Psychiatric Medication Management with expert Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. You are not alone in your fight to restore sanity to you or your family’s life, and whether medication is your choice or not, the option is available for consideration.
FAITH & SPIRITUALITY
Reliance also values the integration of faith-based principles into the wellness of the individual. Considering the Christian Scriptures sufficient for instruction, conviction, correction, and training in righteousness. James’ clinical and spiritual training enable a unique capacity to handle those seeking a Christian based therapeutic approach, as well as the integration of professional training and clinical based experience.
Reliance Counseling, LLC. does not limit service delivery based on faith, or lack thereof. With experience in serving adherents of Christianity, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Judaism, Islam, Baha’i, Nation of Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Atheism, Agnosticism, and Secularism are welcome here. Reliance Counseling, LLC. makes no determination of service based on age, ethnicity, gender, creed, religion, or sexual preference.
Christianity based treatment is best-suited for those looking to better understand the Christian Scriptures and application to their daily life. This approach fundamentally addresses mental health, relationships, substance abuse, and behavioral problems from this perspective. Reliance considers Jesus Christ to be the foremost authority on what we struggle with. This approach ultimately seeks to foster change in the every day lives of people and inspire a passion for Christ as their own catalyst for change.
