Mental Health Counseling & Psychotherapy
At Passageway, we understand that individuals are more complex than their medical diagnoses. Everyone possesses barriers impeding their inner desires and motivations including ineffective strategies to get their needs met. Coupled with research, your goals provide the foundation for your individualized treatment plan that facilitates these desired changes. We employ Best Practices and Evidence-Based Treatments within a variety of modalities; individual, couples, family, and group in counseling, psychotherapy, and coaching.
EAP/Consultation Services
EAP/Consultation Services assists organizations in strengthening their leaders, teams and individuals as they strive to achieve their vision and mission. Education and consultation in wellness, stress management, resiliency, crisis intervention, leadership, prevention, communication, conflict resolution, and creating an environment of support and value creates healthy organizations, teams and communities.
Therapeutic APPROACH
Passageway staff use a holistic, integrated approach to help you examine all areas in your life affecting your well being. We view our clients as whole beings: physical, mental, emotional, and existential entities navigating societal systems while trying to find balance and get needs met. We have integrated the 20th century advents of Cognitive/Behavioral, Gestalt, DBT, and Existential Approaches into the evidence-based 21st century frontiers of neuroscience, psychobiological approaches, including EMDR therapy (adaptive information processing), mindfulness, somatic therapies, creative approaches, and systems integration into solutions. Your personal growth, however, will best be facilitated using a client-centered approach within the confines of a safe, caring, accepting, and empathetic therapeutic relationship.
