The Grief Recovery Method® (GRM) Alumni Program is a continuation of your grief recovery journey. You learned relationships will always have their ups and downs,  but now you have the tools to navigate through any new relationship. However, we have identified the more relationships you work on in your healing journey (recommend at least 4), the more freedom from buried pain you are able to attain and the more connection in your current and future relationships you will experience.

As you walk into new uncharted territory or perhaps into a bothersome familiar territory from the past, your Alumni work will serve as an offensive and defensive barrier to address any unrelenting triggers, losses, lies and not 'lose territory' on the gains you have made.

The more relationships you complete, the more familiar you will become with triggers and access the tools and skills you have obtained to take corrective action. You are building up your "arsenal" to a wholesome foundation of emotional skills for your overall health.

Higinia will walk you through these steps and also establish a post-plan of action with you to continue to move through and beyond grief. You can also access the ASSaP Care™ tool available to you. 

The program is offered in person or virtual via a secure, confidential, video platform. Your privacy and confidentiality are our priority. We can talk about what works best for your schedule.

 Program Investment:

•  $90.00 1/ 60-minute session
•  $250.00   3/ 60-minute session
•  $475.00   6/ 60-minute session

Common Symptoms of Bipolar Disorder

The primary components of Bipolar Disorder represent a spectrum of symptoms that generally fit into two categories: depressive symptoms and mania. While an individual may not have a clear “episode” of either depression or mania, there must be a period of time in which both of these symptoms exist in succession in order to fall within the Bipolar Disorder spectrum.

Depressive symptoms typically include lack of energy, feelings of hopelessness, muscle soreness, lack of concentration, and a significant decrease in interest in previously enjoyed activities.

Mania is generally thought of as an increase in positive or “up” feelings, but it will also likely include bursts of energy, intense focus on specific activities, impulsivity, irritability, or hypersexuality.

 In all of these cases, these symptoms are very rarely only experienced for a short period of time, but generally last at least a number of days or weeks.

Treatment for Bipolar Disorder and Counseling Options

There are traditional two parts to treating Bipolar Disorder Type I or Type II: medical intervention and psychotherapy. While many choose not to use medication management options, this would require strict use of routine and proactive therapeutic treatments to be as effective.

If the depressive and manic symptoms continue to increase in their severity, including suicidal thoughts or extremely risky behaviors, hospitalization or higher levels of care may need to be considered.

Following a reduction in symptoms, the underlying cause is generally treated using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), or cognitive-based therapy in conjunction with medicinal interventions, depending on the severity.

Children & Adolescent therapy helps children and young people explore any concerns that may be causing problems in their social, emotional or cognitive development. Children's primary language is PLAY.

Play Therapy involves the use of toys, blocks, dolls, puppets, drawings, and games to help the child recognize, identify, and verbalize feelings. This approach provides an opportunity for children to express difficult or confused feelings in a safe environment with clear boundaries. 

During Children & Adolescent therapy our therapists will observe how your child uses play materials and identifies themes or patterns to understand your child's struggles. Through a combination of talk and play your child will have an opportunity to better understand and manage their conflicts, feelings, and behaviors.

Teletherapy: also called telepsychology, telehealth or telemedicine—involves speaking with a licensed mental health professional remotely. Right now, most teletherapy is done via video chat. At the CCS we use video chat as well audio chat. Most cell phones will enable you to connect with us with video or audio only.

Individual Counseling: The CCS staff welcomes individuals who want to improve their quality of life. We help you narrow your goal to be achievable and tackle an issue where you feel stuck and need additional ideas to move forward. Our goal is to help you recognized some of your existing strengths that you may be overlooking. Some people hesitate to come to therapy because their community may see seeking help as having stigma. The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) finds mental health issues are common in the US particularly now during the pandemic. NIMH identified that a one in five adults may be affected and would benefit from individual therapy.

Couples Counseling: The CCS staff welcomes couples who are dealing with challenges in their relationships. We are happy to work with all types of couples and are LGBTQ+ friends and allies. We provide couples counseling in both English and Spanish.

Family Therapy: The CCS staff welcomes individuals and families from all walks of life who are dealing with personal and family struggles, intimacy issues, and parental concerns. Our goal is to facilitate creative solutions that can result in personal growth and well-being, healthier relationships, good parenting skills, and better communication with those whom you value. 

Psychological Testing: We offer strengths-based assessment services for children, adolescents and adults. Assessment services provide an evaluation of intellectual, learning, emotional and/or behavioral functioning to streamline treatment planning. Evaluation reports highlight clients' relative strengths, abilities, and interests as well as identifying areas that may require attention, training, and/or educational support to assist in preparation for school and work success.

One-at-a-Time Counseling: Many people find that a single session of counseling helps to get them started in a new direction. The focus of the single session is on your greatest worry, challenge or difficulty, and what you want to achieve from the meeting. Our aim is for you to leave the session with some ideas or strategies to try out. At CCS, you can schedule a One-at-a-Time session or you can be seen in an unscheduled session at certain times of the week. These sessions can be in person, telephone or virtual. They are available for individuals, couples and families. Some find that their one session is enough for now. Some decide to access a future scheduled or unscheduled One-at-a-Time session. Additional service options can be discussed with your therapist at the time of the session.

EMDR THERAPY

Traumatic events and bad memories can stick with you and leave you feeling very isolated. With Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy you can face those memories in a safe, non-invasive way.

This is a structured therapy that will have you focus on a memory while performing eye movements. This will work to reduce the intensity and emotion linked to the memory. EMDR is extensively researched and effective in helping people recover from trauma and PTSD symptoms.

LENS Neurofeedback

Our brains are very active all the time, always processing information. When things like stress, trauma, and anxiety are happening everyday certain areas of the brain begin to slow down.

LENS, standing for Low Energy Neurofeedback system, targets those suppressed parts of the brain to get them back to functioning properly.

 LENS is completely safe and can help minimize symptoms of depression and anxiety and get you back to feeling like yourself.

People struggling with disordered eating often become obsessed with food, body image, and/or weight. If you or someone you love has developed secretive, extreme, or ritualized food or eating habits, were are here to talk.

Eating Disorders can be real, life-threatening mental illnesses. No one chooses to suffer, but people do choose to get better. Eating disorders are real, complex, and can have serious consequences for health, productivity and relationships. They are not fads, phases or lifestyle choices.

Truth #2: Families are not to blame, and can be the patients’ and providers’ best allies in treatment.
Truth #3: An eating disorder diagnosis is a health crisis that disrupts personal and family functioning.
Truth #4: Eating disorders are not choices, but serious biologically influenced illnesses.
Truth #5: Eating disorders affect people of all genders, ages, races, ethnicities, body shapes and weights, sexual orientations, and socioeconomic statuses.
Truth #6: Eating disorders carry an increased risk for both suicide and medical complications.

Family therapy or family counseling is a form of treatment that is designed to address specific issues affecting the health and functioning of a family. It can be used to help a family through a difficult period, a major transition, or mental or behavioral health problems in family members.

This is an opportunity to enhance the skills required for healthy family functioning, including communication, conflict resolution, and problem-solving. Improving these skills also increases the potential for success in overcoming and addressing family problems. 

In family therapy our counselors will help guide you through building a supportive environment with open communication so that each member of the family feels validated and heard.

Texas Child Health Access Through Telemedicine (TCHATT) provides telemedicine or telehealth programs to school districts to help identify and assess the behavioral health needs of children and adolescents and provide access to mental health services.

If you’re interested in joining TCHATT, please email us at [email protected] to see if it is available in your region. TCHATT is deploying first in those regions where an existing infrastructure can be expanded or a new infrastructure can be set up quickly.

Who Can Access TCHATT

TCHATT is not currently accessible to all students in Texas. On the map above, you can see if your school or school district is enrolled or soon-to-be enrolled.

When to Use TCHATT

Call TCHATT any time behaviors are seen or reported that have you concerned for a student’s mental health.

How to use TCHATT?

1. Share your concern with your school’s designated TCHATT liaison, or refer the student to your school’s designated TCHATT liaison.
2. The school TCHATT liaison will ensure required consent forms have been
   signed by the appropriate party (i.e., student, parent, guardian). If the parent/ guardian agrees to TCHATT, the liaison will collect some basic information to share with TCHATT.
3. The school TCHATT liaison then calls TCHATT.

When the School TCHATT Liaison Calls TCHATT

• For urgent issues, further screening via telemedicine will be scheduled with the most appropriate TCHATT mental health specialist.
• For less urgent issues, we will schedule an assessment of the mental health needs.
• After a TCHATT Encounter, TCHATT staff may refer the student to a local pediatric psychiatrist or other mental health professional; a local pediatrician with support from pediatric psychiatry faculty; or the local mental health community center.

Grief occurs any time we experience loss. It appears after a clear loss, like the death of a loved one, or a loss like a divorce or loss of identity. Grief is a natural, normal process to help us get through and process the experience.

If you are unsure whether you are experiencing grief or finding it challenging to work through bereavement, grief counseling can offer support and helpful ways to bring meaning to the loss and allow you to move forward through your grief.

Stages of Grief

Though grief looks different for everyone, there are generally two phases of the grieving process. Acute grief is the first phase and occurs immediately after the loss. Integrated grief is the second phase, once the loss becomes less intense and disruptive.

Benefits of Group Counseling

We’ve found that the most successful therapy is when you and your counselor work together to discover skills that fit your life and your goals. It’s not a cookie-cutter solution without relevant, meaningful solutions for you. 

From the beginning of your counseling experience, your Green Mountain Counseling therapist will work with you to identify your needs and challenge any thoughts or practices that are no longer working for you. We encourage a direct, honest approach to therapy. That involves understanding the root cause of the issues in your life and addressing them as quickly as possible. Our counselors focus on instilling hope so you can get the life you’ve always wanted.

Offered Groups

Social Anxiety Therapy Group

This group is designed for anyone wanting to overcome social anxiety, learn skills for making new connections, or improve relationships. The group provides a space to work with others toward these goals. Our primary objectives will be to learn about anxiety and its effects on the brain and body, challenge our thinking, and practice new skills.

It's About Connection

Individuals who have never been in a group are often surprised to discover that they truly enjoy the experience and make significant strides they would not have otherwise made in individual therapy. Groups also allow for exponential multiplication of time and energy. Just one week of Innova's group therapy program is equivalent to over 3 months of individual therapy.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Our Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment offers the option of joining from the comfort and privacy of your own home on your smartphone or laptop. You will attend group meetings, with no more than 8-12 in a group , for three days a week.

Typically, the program lasts 12 weeks, depending on individual progression. Our team will walk you from your initial phone call to having you join your first meeting, to ensure you always have support.

• For Women-For women, led by women, our goal is to provide support on your journey to recovery using several techniques and methods.

Group therapy is a form of therapy in which a small number of people meet together under the guidance of a professionally trained therapist to help themselves and one another. Group therapy involves one or more therapists who lead a group of roughly 5 to 15 patients. Some patients attend individual therapy in addition to groups, while others participate in groups only.

This is an opportunity to target a specific problem in a group setting, such as depression, eating disorders, panic disorders, social anxiety, chronic pain or substance abuse and more. Group Therapy is a great way to get professional help while gaining support from others in similar situations.

In group therapy our counselors will first evaluate each person ensuring they are a good fit. Then work together to create a safe, supportive, and cohesive space for the group to address personal, relationship and societal issues.

What Is PTSD?

Post-traumatic stress disorder is a psychiatric disorder that may develop after a person has been through, seen, or been threatened with a traumatic event. Types of events that can lead to PTSD include a natural disaster, accident, combat, or sexual violence.

If you’re living with PTSD, you may find yourself having flashbacks and nightmares, avoiding situations that bring back unwanted memories, and struggling with feelings of anxiety, sadness, or anger. You might feel like it's harder to connect with others or keep up with school or work like you used to.

Know that PTSD is not a sign of weakness but a mental health condition that can be diagnosed and treated. With the help of a mental health professional, you or your loved one can begin to heal.

Symptoms of PTSD fall into four categories and include:

• Intrusive symptoms
• Avoidance
• Increased arousal
• Changes in thoughts and feeling

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Common Symptoms of Suicidal Thoughts

Although most representations of suicidal thoughts typically include the active thought of killing oneself or suicide, these collections of thoughts can also include thoughts of not wanting to be here anymore or not waking up.

These are all examples of the mind working through and trying to manage unbelievable stress, whether it’s external factors or internal thoughts. The suicidal thoughts are typically accompanied by a decrease in energy and mood, but can also appear in conjunction with a burst of energy and making plans for one’s possessions.

Treatment for Suicidal Thoughts and Counseling Options

Treatment for thoughts of suicide focus on decreasing the immediate concerns of intent and opportunity, often creating safety plans with the individual and their support network to ensure the safety of the individual.

If the safety cannot be secured, then a higher level of treatment may be necessary, including inpatient psychiatric hospital stabilization followed by residential treatment centers or partial hospitalization programs.

Following a reduction in symptoms and increase in safety, the underlying cause is generally treated using Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), or cognitive-based therapy in conjunction with medicinal interventions, depending on the severity.

Adolescence is typically considered to be the developmental stage between 13 and 18 years of age, where individuals are most commonly called teenagers.

There are immense changes during this period of time, socially, emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally, making counseling these teens and supporting their parents especially important.

Common Issues for Teens

This is the primary age for issues surrounding identity and one’s peer group to be at the forefront, which can appear to cause anxiety or depressive symptoms. The most severe of these symptoms result due to the teen’s increased capacity for actions, due to their age, with the continued emotional instability from younger years. This can result in significant behaviors such as running away, cutting or self-harming, suicidal thoughts or attempts, and truancy or violence.

While these actions can occur at any age, they are most concerning in adolescence due to the teen’s increased physical abilities, freedom, and reliance on their peer group. 

Treatments in Teen Counseling

Although most counseling theories or practices can have some efficacy for working with teens, the therapies that generally work best are ones that focus on strategies that change the nature of decision-making.

Reality Therapy, or the method by addressing decisions through a more practical system, has been shown to be one of the most effective therapies with teens. This approach challenges the teen in what they are hoping to achieve through their actions, and seek alternative measures to fulfill that need without additional harm to the teen or their environment.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) or other cognitive-based therapies have also shown to be effective in addressing the underlying emotions and thoughts of teenagers, to help them resolve underlying emotional strife and choose different behaviors.

Telepsychiatry:

Telemedicine is the process of providing health care from a distance through technology, often using videoconferencing. Alamo Premier mental health delivers this service via a secured HIPAA-compliant audio/visual software platforms.

Telepsychiatry provides an interaction between the practitioner and the patient similar to coming into the office for medication management and therapy but instead, you will be looking at the practitioner from the computer screen. Telepsychiatry is suitable for people of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. Research indicates that telepsychiatry is just as effective as an in-person treatment, and it may even be preferable for some people.

Medication Management:

Medication management services are considered to follow up appointments to the Initial Evaluation. We do not rush these appointments and spend 20-30 minutes with each client to discuss the progress of their treatment, how they are feeling, and to discuss any concerns they have. Medications are an important part of effective treatment for many mental health conditions. The decision to start or to continue psychiatric medications is not one to be taken lightly. Our approach to psychopharmacology (or "medication management") is designed to respect your individuality and to acknowledge the complexity of this intervention.
