At Encouraged Psych, we offer a variety of clinical services to clients and clinicians.
For clients
We offer diagnostic assessments as welll as individual and group therapies.
diagnostic assessment
In a diagnostic assessment, your assessor will administer a semi-structured interview (the SCID-5), a personality inventory, and various self-report measures in order to hone in on your current diagnoses. At the end, your assessor will interpret your responses and provide full report that will include their findings, a list of your current psychological diagnoses, and relevant treatment recommendations.
Assessments are offered on an hourly basis, and the time required depends on the complexity of the diagnostic presentation. Most assessments range from 2 to 5 hours. Information on costs can be found in our Fee Schedule.
individual therapy
Our providers can offer any of our empirically-supported treatments (see our How We Treat page) to our clients.
Client can meet in 30, 45, or 90 minutes sessions. Information on costs can be found in our Fee Schedule. Sessions are typically offered on a weekly basis, with clients tapering to biweekly or monthly sessions over time. If needed, some clients may be able to meet twice a week early in their treatment (at the discretion of their provider).
courage boot camp
For clients struggling with specific fears/phobias (of anything from public speaking to spiders to anything in between), we offer a Courage Boot Camp. Clients can sign up for a 3-hour session for one day (usually on Fridays or Saturdays) and complete Intensive One Session Treatment (OST) for their phobia. In the one-day session, clients will create and then complete an exposure hierarchy, in which they will gradually face their feared situations until they feel confident that they can manage their symptoms on their own. Clients will leave with the courage to face their fears out in the world!
The cost for a 3-hour session is $500. Follow-up maintenance sessions can be scheduled on an as-needed basis .
group therapy
Encouraged Psychology can offer DBT, RO-DBT, and emotional resiliency groups as demand requires.
At this time, Encouraged Psychology is not offering any groups.
If there is a group you are needing or wanting, please reach out to us and let us know!
For clinicians
We offer consultations and various trainings.
consultation
We all get stuck sometimes, and it can help to get a second opinion. If you have a client within our specialty areas (see our Who We Treat page), we would be happy to consult!
We especially love consulting about clients with mixed presentations of under- and over-controlled coping or with personality disorder diagnoses.
Consultation is typically billed at our usual session rate, which can be found in our Fee Schedule.
training
We currently offer the following trainings:
Exposure and Response Prevention - An Introduction
The Art of Letting Go: The Assessment and Treatment of Overcontrol with Mixed-Presentation Clients
We can also offer trainings in any of our specialty areas as requested.
