How Change Happens
Healing and growth require a commitment to a series of small changes over time—an understanding that it takes an exploration of who you are to get to who you want to become. It’s a physical and emotional investment—founded on the realization that it takes courage to go down a new path.
At Confluence we walk this path with to support you in developing the skills needed to harness what’s possible.
Confluence’s unique treatment model is rooted in evidence-based practices that help participants heal, grow and change. Looking beyond simply feeling better, the model incorporates personal nd interpersonal development, encourages identity explorations and formation and helps build health promoting behaviors.
Reduce symptoms: Individual, group and experiential therapy help participants reduce and eliminate the negative symptoms they are experiencing and heal from the specific mental health challenges they are confronting.
Psychoeducational: Psychoeducation is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention for participants and their loved ones that provides information and support to better understand and manage mental health challenges. Knowledge is power and understanding how specific diagnoses effect us helps reduce the impact of symptoms and overall suffering.
Build the Infrastructure of Wellness: Structured activities, reading and writing about experiences, and behavioral interventions support participants in developing the mindsets, communications patterns, practices and routines that support effective excutive functioning and patterns for lifelong health.
Relational Approach: Relational strategies and a focus on the exploration and development of the self support participants in building confidence, resilience, responsibilty and accountabilty. In turn positive relationships support participants building connections with others while learning and using positive interpersonal skills.
This approach acknowledges a fundamental reality that is often missed in treatment programs. It isn’t enough to simply feel less bad. Conversely, it isn’t enough to feel better if it comes at the expense of relationships, capacities and integrity.
