Psychotherapeutic Services

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy can be used as either a primary method of treatment or combined with other methods of treatment including medication management/drug therapy and other general or specialty medical practices.

Renewed Minds works with other medical professionals to develop a treatment plan addressing the clients symptoms, whenever possible and with the client’s consent.

Therapy for Black Women with Bipolar Disorder

The occurrence of Bipolar in Black Americans is equal to the occurrence in non Black Americans but Black Americans are less likely to receive a diagnosis and treatment.

Therapeutic models used include Interpersonal Social Rhythm Theory (IPSRT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Focused Therapy (FFT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Renewed Minds seeks to provide a safe culturally competent space with additional supports outside session time if needed. We focus on diagnosis acceptance, self care, skill development, symptom management, and crisis support.

Therapy for Older Individuals

Self esteem and self worth maintenance is often a major focus during psychotherapy with aging clients.

Renewed Minds  provides support to older individuals experiencing biopsychosocial losses associated with aging by providing support and building from available resources. Biopsychosocial losses may include physical or cognitive functioning decline, loss of a loved one, strained relationships with family members, financial losses, loss of social supports and loss of meaningful activities. Loneliness is a significant concern, especially for aging individuals.  We understand how comorbidities ( two or more diseases or medical conditions) impact overall health and have knowledge and experience working with individuals with multiple medical issues.

Therapeutic models used include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Therapy for Couples

Healthy marriages are good for a couple’s mental and physical health.

Gottman Method is the therapeutic model used.

Renewed Minds seeks to provide a safe culturally competent space with additional supports outside session time if needed. We focus on maintaining a sound relationship house by promoting commitment, trust, building love maps. sharing fondness and admiration, maintaining a positive perspective, managing conflict, making life dreams come true and creating shared meaning.  The marriage is the client; therefore, bias is not shown towards one partner.  Couple sessions are broken into three assessment sessions ( 1 session with the couple and two individual sessions)  and a treatment planning session ( discussing areas of focus) . Couples are also asked to complete an online assessment that incurs an additional cost outside of therapy sessions. Renewed Minds does not provide individual psychotherapy for couples meaning we recommend receiving services from another professional if a partner has biopsychosocial symptoms impacting the relationship. Sessions can be conducted individually but the focus will always be with the marriage as a focus and not an individual.
