At your initial appointment, BRIDGES will explore your current concerns and personal history, using evidence based screenings to gain a comprehensive understanding of your substance use and mental health needs. When appropriate, medical screenings and medication evaluations are also available. Beginning with the first session, we continuously assess your strengths and needs to ensure you receive consistent, personalized support throughout your counseling journey.

Short-term counseling is defined as a relatively brief treatment intended to last between 6-10 sessions. Short-term counseling tends to focus on setting and achieving attainable goals within its limited time frame. At BRIDGES you will work on building trust, improving communication, establishing healthy boundaries, and practicing self-care to foster healthy family and/or individual dynamics that strengthen your mental health and/or recovery. 

Join our wellness and self-care workshops designed to support your mind and body. Explore various techniques and practices that promote relaxation, mindfulness, and personal growth. Connect with like-minded individuals and discover the tools to cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life. 

A medical screening will be conducted by a licensed Registered Nurse or Nurse Practitioner who specializes in diagnosing and treating substance misuse and mental health needs. Based on your needs, we will determine whether or not medication is a good option for treating your mental health, substance misuse, and/or recovery concerns.
