Individual and Family Counseling
The CBCST licensed professional mental health staff provides psychotherapy to individuals (3 years of age and older) and families who have experienced a death loss or are presently anticipating the death of a loved one.
Our Counseling Staff offers psychotherapy combined with an expressive arts focus. Our homelike facility accentuates the healing process as clients receive psychotherapy and choose expressive art modalities such as art, music, poetry, dance/movement in a tranquil and supportive environment. We provide one-on-one counseling, family counseling and couples counseling to those experiencing bereavement and anticipatory loss. We specialize in using play therapy for young children and their families as well as sandplay therapy for adult clients coping with bereavement issues such as separation anxiety, loneliness, confusion and anger. Counseling helps clients to develop healthy coping strategies throughout the grieving process. Clients learn to enhance their personal and family relationships. In addition to our psychotherapy services, we offer the MARI or Mandala Assessment Research Instrument, a psychological instrument based in Jungian psychology certified by the National Board of Certified Counselors.
Families may receive consultation over the phone or in person with a licensed mental health professional staff member. Call (210) 736-4847 ext. 229, for more information.
