HeartLife provides clinical services for a wide range of issues that arise during the adolescent years.
HeartLife Professional Soul-Care clinicians specialize in the following:
- Mood disorders – including depression and bipolar disorder
- Suicidal behavior
- Anxiety disorders – including obsessive compulsive disorder, and post traumatic stress disorder
- Dealing with the impact of divorce
- Sexuality
- Pornography
- ADHD/ADD
- Asperser’s Syndrome
- Defiant behavior
- Addiction
- Acute symptoms of distress related to family or personal crisis, abusive experiences, and/or experiencing or witnessing of traumatic events
- Eating disorders—including bulimia & anorexia
We provide family therapy, individual therapy and referrals as needed for medical intervention. A number of our staff previously worked with adolescents in intensive care settings. We will be glad to review potential referral options should a higher level of care be needed; including acute hospitalization, day treatment, long term residential or intensive outpatient services.
Our perspective is to work with BOTH the teenager AND the family to make changes in the home and family system to address core issues on a clinical and spiritual level.
Our experts are available to local churches, schools and community agencies. We provide speakers on a variety of subjects that affect the adolescent and the family during this critical developmental stage. Contact our office manager or any of our counselors for more information.
