Q- Individual, Couple and Family Therapy... Which is right for my situation?

Many people ask this question. Life situations can be complex; and it can be difficult to discern which specific form of therapy my be most appropriate. The New Learning Therapy Center is a multi-disciplinary setting. Our staff members- clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, and marriage and family therapists- consult with one another to ensure that our clients always receive the most appropriate and highest level of service. It is possible that you might initially contact us in search of individual counseling. However, it is possible that, over time, your theapist might recommend extending the process to include others in your family. Above all, be assured that, from the moment you contact us and our clinical director receives the information you provide, the decision about providing you with the therapist most appropriate for your situation is given very careful attention, with the goal of providing the highest quality therapy and counseling services to you and those important to you. We take pride in responding to our clients quickly and effectively.

Q- How do I know what type of therapist is best for me?

There are differences between the disciplines that may help you decide what type of therapist you wish to see.

1. The clinical psychologist (a psychologist who specializes in psychotherapy) is specially trained to diagnose and treat individuals, and to do psychological testing.
2. The psychiatrist is a medical doctor who is trained to diagnose and treat individuals, and prescribe medication.
3. The clinical social worker is specially trained to treat an individual, couple or family in the context of his or her environment.
4. The marriage and family therapist is specially trained to work with families and couples.

   Practitioners in each of these disciplines may also choose to do advanced training beyond the specific degrees they earned in the use of special techniques or in order to work with special populations. However, all of these clinicians are trained to offer psychotherapy.

   The New Learning Center is a treatment center with a diversity of disciplines among its licensed clinicians, who consult with each other across disciplines to ensure that our clients will always recieve the most comprehensive therapeutic services.
