Substance Abuse / Alcohol Assessments
Centennial Park Counseling is committed to offering extensive assistance to individuals dealing with substance use challenges. A primary service we provide is Substance Abuse Evaluations and Alcohol Assessments, which are crucial for individuals who have experienced legal difficulties, especially concerning DUI offenses and other substance-related issues.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
The mind possesses an innate ability to heal, akin to the body’s healing processes. In 1987, Francine Shapiro leveraged this understanding to create Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapeutic approach that capitalizes on the brain’s natural healing abilities. EMDR has since evolved into a highly effective therapeutic approach for a variety of issues.
Group Therapy
Are you seeking a secure environment to express your thoughts and gain support from others? Regardless of your challenges, group counseling may serve as an invaluable method for obtaining psychological assistance while simultaneously fostering a network of healthy relationships. Please see below for current group offerings.
Play Therapy
Play therapy provides a unique and invaluable opportunity for young children and adolescents to express and process their experiences and emotions in a safe and supportive environment. This therapeutic approach recognizes that children often lack the verbal skills to articulate their feelings and thoughts in a traditional manner and instead, they will naturally communicate through play.
Psychological Testing
Psychological testing and evaluation involve a thorough set of assessments aimed at uncovering the root causes of mental health symptoms and disorders. This process is essential for achieving precise diagnoses and informing effective treatment plans. These evaluations provide valuable insights that help us understand the complexities of an individual and provide effective interventions.
