• Couples Therapy

In couple’s therapy, clients are able to work to improve relationship quality with the help of a trained therapist in a 45-50 minute session. Couples explore what is helping or hindering their relationship, how to set and communicate healthy boundaries, and can increase feelings of connection and closeness during this process. This type of therapy can help identify what may be causing strain within a relationship or address specific problems with various forms of therapeutic intervention.

• Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of group therapy that works with family members to identify familial patterns or behaviors that cause relational strain or individual issues. With the help of a therapist trained in familial counseling, family members can focus on changing destructive patterns and behavior, improving relationships, and enhancing communication. Over the course of family therapy sessions, family members can be guided through problem-solving techniques that can fuel solid, stable, healthier, and happier relationships with one another.

In group therapy, a client is paired with other clients that are experiencing similar issues and guided through productively discussing what they are going through in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

Though every client involved in the group may be at different stages of their treatment process, discussing shared experience and having others to relate to can greatly relieve feelings of isolation or disconnection.

With time, clients can learn to find validation in the balance between their own and others’ experiences and develop coping skills to maintain a healthy and stable life.

Serving the First Responder Community

It is not uncommon for emergency responders to share strong, family-like bonds. Due to the nature of their occupations, they often have experiences that only their peers can relate to.

At Starlite Recovery Center, our team features former first responders who provide an authentic source of support and empathy for the patients in our Harbor of Hope program.  

We understand that many members of the emergency response community have endured events that have negatively impacted their lives. For this reason, we proudly offer residential programming that addresses the unique needs of this population.
