Individual counseling is fundamental to successful mental health care. Our licensed therapists employ a variety of evidence-based approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)—to assist you in tackling the underlying issues of your distress. We collaborate with individuals dealing with:
Your therapy sessions will be customized to suit your specific objectives, pace, and comfort level.
Group therapy can serve as a significant source of support, connection, and personal development. Our sessions are structured and facilitated by skilled clinicians and may encompass psychoeducation, discussions focused on processes, or workshops aimed at developing skills. Common topics addressed in our group therapy offerings include:
Being part of a group that genuinely comprehends your experiences can greatly contribute to your healing process.
For those who require psychiatric assistance, our team consists of licensed medical professionals who can evaluate your needs, provide prescriptions if necessary, and monitor your development closely. While medication may not be the solution for everyone, when applied judiciously alongside therapy, it has the potential to be transformative.
We assist individuals dealing with:
We guarantee that you are engaged in every aspect of your treatment strategy and that any medications prescribed correspond with your specific diagnosis and medical history.
Many individuals dealing with mental health issues also have difficulties with substance use. At St. Mary’s, we focus on dual diagnosis treatment, which means we tackle both your mental health symptoms and any concurrent addiction problems simultaneously. This combined approach results in improved outcomes and more successful long-term recovery.
Whether you’re coping with alcohol dependency, opioid use, or other substance-related challenges, our team will offer the resources and clinical assistance necessary to help you progress.
Unprocessed trauma can show up in unexpected ways—chronic anxiety, depression, difficulty trusting others, or emotional numbness. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that your experiences are acknowledged and respected, and that treatment unfolds at your own pace. We utilize therapies like EMDR, narrative therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions to help you rebuild a sense of safety and control.
Most major health insurance providers with out-of-network benefits will help cover the cost of our St. Marys treatment program. Call us or email us to find out your coverage options when seeking mental health treatment.
