Outpatient Therapy
Professional, discreet, diverse, and trauma-informed care to help those in need.
Outpatient Therapy is an opportunity to work one-on-one with a licensed Behavioral Health Professional to process and work through barriers that arise in life. These services can focus on ways to promote healthy communication, establish coping skills to handle stressors encountered in life, manage and regulate emotions, and work through any other mental health and substance misuse.
Trauma-informed approach
Our trauma-informed approach to outpatient therapy understands and responds to the impact of trauma on people’s lives and provides a complete picture of a patient’s life situation. This is important to provide effective care and improve outcomes. Our team develops a collaborative care plan, which is designed to help children live successfully at home and in the community and adults leverage their support system as much as possible.
Evidence-based interventions
Our safe, caring and inclusive professionals treat children, adolescents and adults in their natural environment with interventions targeted at their specific needs. KVC professional staff are trained in a number of industry leading evidence-based practices which will structure the individualized approach given to each patient. Here is a short list of evidence-based practices incorporated on a daily basis at KVC:
- Trauma Focused CBT (TFCBT)
- Motivational Interviewing
- Child – Adult Relationship Enhancement (CARE Skills)
- Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
