Services Provided

Every problem may require different kinds of therapy and approaches. With this in mind, Grace Behavioral Health is able to provide different services based on patients’ different needs. The services primarily target depression and anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and interpersonal and family relationships, and include programs like:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: A common therapeutic practice that focuses on forging connections between feelings and behaviors in order to understand and make changes that can lessen depression and anxiety.

---

• Interpersonal Therapy: A type of therapy that can help to identify areas where growth in relationships needs to be made.

---

• Trauma Treatment: By working through therapy sessions, patients are able to process, make meaning, and lessen the impact of traumatic events.

---

• Teen-Specific Treatment: Sometimes the volatile time of being a teenager can present challenges. Luckily, Katrina has many years of working with teenagers due to her specialization in child and family therapy as well as her career as a social worker.

---

• Parent & Guardian Support: Being a parent is no easy task. In fact, many people will often say that being a parent is the hardest job in the world, and sometimes parents/guardians need outside guidance to better facilitate their parenting or even just the reassurance that they’re on the right track. Therapy to address the challenges of parenting can better foster communication and decision-making to better improve family issues.

---

• Communication Workshops: These workshops are periodic, and often focus on parent/guardian relationships with children and teens.
