Mental Health Counseling with a Heart

At PHC Mental Health Counseling, part of our goal is to make sure that each person who passes through our doors receives the treatment they need. One of the ways that we do this is by offering a broad range of treatment modalities and programs designed with your mental health treatment in mind. Among the specific approaches we offer at PHC, you will find:

Trauma & PTSD Treatment

If you or someone close to you has experienced a traumatic event, you know that it can result in years of damage. The condition that was once referred to as “shell shock” or “combat fatigue” and thought to pertain only to veterans or men and women in the active-duty military is now recognized as being far more common. At PHC, our program is designed to help individuals who have experienced trauma or who are experiencing the symptoms of PTSD take back control of their lives.

Depression & Anxiety Treatment

When an individual is depressed or anxious, it affects every aspect of their being, including how they interact with others and the way they feel about themselves. And when depression and anxiety are left untreated, they can affect our work, family, and social lives in deeply negative ways. The good news is that with an experienced counselor, you can learn to manage your depression or anxiety and live happy, productive lives.

Oppositional Adolescent Treatment

One of our great strengths at PHC is working with adolescents and teens struggling with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD). This is partly because the founder of PHC, Patrick Crews, struggled with this condition himself as a teenager. That said, adolescents and teenagers today are faced with a set of circumstances – involving, among other things, how public their discourse is on social media – that we could not have imagined 20 or even 10 years ago. By meeting each young person where they are, the team at PHC can give them the tools they need to get their lives back on track.

LGBTQ+ Support

Depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, and substance use disorder are exponentially more prevalent in the LGBTQ+ community than in the general population. And among LGBTQ+ adolescents and teens, these issues are even more rampant. At PHC Mental Health Counseling, we specialize in helping individuals struggling with such issues to navigate the difficulties they are encountering in healthy, productive ways.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy

EMDR therapy was originally designed to help patients address and manage traumatic events. At PHC Mental Health Counseling, we use this evidence-based treatment approach to help individuals battling a range of mental health issues reprocess negative memories, a process that allows them to then proactively address them. EMDR therapy can be a productive way to address conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders.

Because of the taboo nature of mental health issues in our society, it can be tempting to try to manage them on your own or to think of them as something that you can just “work through.” In fact, these conditions, like most health conditions, almost always require the help of a healthcare professional. If you or someone close to you is struggling, PHC can help.

Patrick Crews is a licensed clinical social worker with a degree in psychology and a lifetime of helping others on the path to wellness.
