About REACH’s Therapy & Counseling Services

REACH is committed to providing mental health care that integrates individual treatment within a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic relationship. A continuum of culturally competent services is incorporated into the therapeutic approach. From its inception, REACH Counseling has been committed to the development of best practices through the utilization of outcomes research of trauma and neuroscience to drive a therapeutic approach that is current, relevant, and effective.

REACH believes that wellness is a key part of recovery. Movements around the country increasingly focus on wellness education and promotion. The delivery of clinical services, coordination of care, prevention, and wellness services engage clients in improving their individual health and well-being. In addition, research has shown that culturally competent, recovery-oriented services that include the principles of trauma-informed care are the most effective treatment interventions.

REACH intends to work with the community to develop plans to improve the integration of care, while promoting a recovery-oriented framework that fosters self-care, self-determination, and personal empowerment and will focus its philosophy of behavioral health care on recovery. In addition to focusing on the wellness of one individual, REACH also believes in treating families in incorporating the family in treatment. Through this process, REACH is able to help families learn to support one another, particularly in cases where one member of the family is a victim of trauma.

Lastly, REACH believes it is important to address other barriers to personal wellness, such as poverty, unemployment, lack of transportation to services, inadequate housing, and the stigma of mental health services, which adversely affect an individual’s capability for wellness. As a mental health provider that focuses on wellness of the person as a whole, REACH will integrate its therapeutic focus with the service needs of the underserved populations to ensure they can access effective treatment.
