Outpatient Plus – O+ Sometimes young people need more support than a single session per week of individual therapy can provide. They may be experiencing a crisis or needing to address multiple issues at once. Or they may be stepping down from residential treatment or an intensive outpatient program. Whatever the need, EMERGE has developed the Outpatient Plus (O+) program to provide a higher level of support to young people and their families than traditional outpatient therapy. Our clinical team works together to design a program specific to each individual’s needs and may include one or more sessions per week of individual, group or family therapy using a variety of different modalities such as: Humanistic/Interpersonal Relational/Psychodynamic Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) Emotionally-Focused (EFT) Internal Family Systems Somatic Psychology Family Systems In addition, we collaborate with local psychiatrists to ensure a seamless level of quality care. While we use an integrative model that that values the many ways we see, feel and experience the world, our core work is focused on strengthening the quality of a young person’s relationship to oneself, one’s family and one’s community. Unlike IOP programs, the O+ program is customized to each individual’s needs and can continue as long as needed. It can also be titrated down as the need decreases. The program is available for ages 8-25. Please contact us for more information. More Support Brighter Tomorrow

We offer affordable rates, accept Medi-Cal for adolescent groups, and provide payment flexibility through check or credit card. Learn more about EAP and insurance and/or superbilling options. OUR PROCESS Whether our first contact is by email, phone or text, we will arrange some time to talk with you to better understand your needs. We will discuss treatment options and whether we have a therapist that is a good fit for you. If not, we are happy to recommend other providers. Assessment Session(s) The first 1-3 sessions are the assessment phase of therapy. We gather as much information as possible about your concerns, their history and what you have tried to address them. During this process, we will discuss our impressions of your situation and recommend a course of treatment and/or action. While it is hard to predict how treatment progress because there are so many variables, we will give you some idea of what to expect going forward. Ongoing Process and Feedback Assuming that your treatment involves ongoing sessions, the therapist will check in with you frequently to ensure that your concerns are being met. Discussing the process of therapy with you directly is not only good customer service, it is an essential ingredient of good therapy. Ending Therapy While it is your decision alone to end therapy, it is useful to discuss this openly as part of the therapeutic process for several reasons: If there are any concerns about your therapy, we may be able to address them The process of ending is a way to review progress on your goals and plan for the future Being thoughtful about ending can help us think about other options for your continued growth While therapy can go on indefinitely as a personal growth process, this should be a well thought out choice after specific areas of concern have been addressed.

Adolescents grow in groups. While individual therapy offers teens a private and focused hour that can be extremely beneficial, it cannot offer the kind of social experience that teens can benefit from in groups. Group therapy is experiential learning of a social and emotional nature. As a result, group therapy has several advantages over individual therapy. ADOLESCENT GROUPS Adolescents are more lonely now than ever before. And group therapy can be a powerful way of making connections and feeling less isolated. As social relationships have added importance in adolescence, group therapy offers an opportunity to work on relationship skills with other group members and develop a support system to deal with all the challenges of adolescent life. A safe space to be heard, supported, and understood. Every teen is dealing with something different, that’s why we offer themed groups designed for what you need. Whether you want to manage anxiety, build confidence, or feel more connected, there’s a group where people get what you’re going through.
