Our Treatment Approach

All treatments are selected based on a comprehensive case conceptualization, which includes the presenting symptoms, diagnoses, problem list, and an assessment of individual, couples, family, and environmental factors. Additionally, the choice of treatment is informed by a review of the relevant literature to identify the most effective interventions tailored to this conceptualization.

  • Case Conceptualization

    Case conceptualization is the process by which a clinician gathers and organizes information about a client to understand their concerns, symptoms, and context. This includes:

    • Presenting Symptoms: What the individual is experiencing, such as emotional distress, behavioral issues, or physical symptoms.

    • Diagnosis: The formal classification of the symptoms, such as mental health disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.), which guides the treatment approach.

    • Problem List: A detailed account of the issues the client is facing, both major and minor, and how these interact.

    • Individual/Couples/Family Factors: These include the personal background, history, values, and cultural influences of the person or group, as well as relationship dynamics if it's a couple or family. Environmental factors, such as work, community, and socio-economic status, are also considered.
