Services
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions provide personalized mental health treatment through evidence-based approaches. Our licensed clinicians use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and other modalities to address substance use disorders, trauma, and co-occurring conditions. Sessions help clients develop coping strategies, improve self-esteem, and build healthier relationships through 45-60 minute appointments tailored to individual needs.
MLADC Evaluations
MLADC evaluations offer comprehensive substance use disorder assessments for legal or personal purposes. These 90-120 minute sessions include clinical interviews, diagnostic evaluations, and treatment recommendations. Court-ordered assessments provide official documentation for legal proceedings, while voluntary evaluations help individuals understand their relationship with substances and determine appropriate treatment levels.
Neurofeedback Therapy
Neurofeedback sessions use EEG technology to improve brain function through real-time feedback. Our Infra-slow Fluctuation Neurofeedback helps regulate emotional states, reduce anxiety, and improve sleep patterns. Each 45-50 minute session trains the central nervous system to transition more effectively between active and restorative states, benefiting clients with stress-related conditions and migraines.
Impaired Driver Aftercare
Our NH-registered impaired driver aftercare program helps clients meet state requirements for license reinstatement. Weekly 50-minute sessions document progress through the WITS software system while focusing on sustained sobriety and behavioral change. We coordinate with IDCMP providers to ensure compliance with state-mandated recovery protocols.
Family Therapy
Family therapy sessions address relationship dynamics affected by substance use disorders. These sessions focus on rebuilding trust, improving communication, and educating family members about recovery processes. Treatment helps both clients and their support systems develop tools for maintaining sobriety and establishing healthier family interactions.
