Online / Video Therapy

This can be due to a variety of reasons ranging from:
- Limited access to transportation
- Living in a remote area
- Becoming sick and not wanting to share your germs

Bipolar Therapy
Do you wonder if you have bipolar or what it means now that you have been diagnosed? Are you wondering what this means for you and the rest of your life? Do you feel defeated by the rollercoaster experience that bipolar can create? Are you struggling with knowing how to fix some of the things that happened while you were not healthy?
Or perhaps you are a loved one, struggling with knowing how to help someone who has bipolar? Feeling confused about what is actually helpful and what the difference is between supporting him or her and still taking care of yourself? Perhaps you also feel overwhelmed at the diagnosis and do not really understand what it is or what can be done to manage it.
Both of you may also be wondering how family or other loved ones can be involved so that a strong support team can be developed, while also making sure the person who has bipolar maintains personal rights and privacy?

THERAPY OPTIONS TO FIT YOUR BUDGET
We understand that accessing effective private mental health support is not always within everyone's budget. To increase accessibility to services, PsychSolutions will be resuming their internship program in the fall of 2023. Through our internship program, clients will continue to have access to mental health services, but at a reduced rate. Since our interns work closely with their supervisor, who is a fully licensed psychologist, many extended health benefit plans continue to approve coverage. Through the internship program, clients can opt to see intern therapists for individual sessions or by attending a support group.
Contact us to learn more about this program and if it would be a good fit for your needs.
Note: No longer accepting intern applicants for Fall 2023-Spring 2024.
