Outpatient Counseling Services
Sustaining Your Growth for the Long Term
Whether you are stepping down from a higher level of care or seeking support for a specific mental health challenge, our outpatient team provides the tools, wisdom, and culturally attuned support you need to thrive.
What are outpatient counseling services?
Recovery is not a destination; it is an ongoing practice. Our Outpatient Counseling Services (often referred to as General Outpatient) are designed for individuals who have stabilized in their recovery and are ready to navigate daily life with less supervision, but still value consistent therapeutic guidance.
Outpatient Counseling is the least restrictive level of care we offer. Unlike IOP or PHP, which are structured programs with set hours, Outpatient Counseling consists of scheduled appointments with a therapist or a specific group.
This is what most people think of when they hear "therapy." It is a flexible, long-term resource designed to help you process life’s inevitable ups and downs without disrupting your work, education, or family routine. It is the "maintenance" phase of recovery, ensuring that the progress you’ve made remains permanent.
The Benefits of Outpatient Counseling
For those with a solid foundation in recovery, Outpatient Counseling offers a unique set of advantages:
- Maximum Flexibility: Sessions are scheduled by appointment, making it easy to fit therapy around a full-time job, school studies, or household responsibilities.
- Individualized Attention: One-on-one sessions allow for a deep dive into personal history, trauma, and specific relationship dynamics that may not be addressed in a group setting.
- Prevention: Regular check-ins serve as an early warning system, allowing you to catch and address potential triggers or stressors before they lead to relapse.
- Privacy: This level of care is highly discreet, ideal for community members who require strict confidentiality while seeking help.
- Holistic Growth: Beyond addiction, outpatient care allows you to work on broader life goals, such as career advancement, marriage, and parenting.
How Does Outpatient Counseling Work?
Personalized attention with a compassionate counselor
Our outpatient services are tailored to meet you where you are in your journey.
1. The Schedule
Unlike the fixed schedules of IOP/PHP, outpatient care is determined by you and your therapist. Most clients attend one to two sessions per week, lasting 45 to 60 minutes each. As you progress, sessions may move to bi-weekly or monthly check-ins.
2. Clinical Modalities
We offer a wide range of therapeutic disciplines to suit your specific needs, including:
- Individual Psychotherapy (CBT, Talk Therapy)
- Trauma therapies (EMDR or Somatic Experiencing)
- Couples and Family Counseling
3. The Spiritual Component
Our outpatient therapists understand the nuances of the Jewish experience. You will never have to explain the pressures of Shidduchim (matchmaking), the dynamics of the Chagim (holidays), or community expectations. We offer:
- Culturally competent therapy that respects Halachic values.
- Coordination with your Rabbi or Rebbetzin (with your permission) to ensure clinical and spiritual goals are aligned.
- Guidance on navigating recovery within the Jewish community.
- Spiritual guidance for non-Jews in Recovery
