Benefits

Emotional Wellness Services

Individual Counseling

Individual therapy is a joint process between a therapist and a person in therapy. Common goals of therapy can be to inspire change or improve quality of life. People may seek therapy for help with issues that are hard to face alone. Individual therapy is also called therapy, psychotherapy, psychosocial therapy, talk therapy, and counseling. Therapy can help people overcome obstacles to their well-being. It can increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem. People in therapy can learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals. Many find they enjoy the therapeutic journey of becoming more self-aware. Some people even go to ongoing therapy for self-growth.

Couples Counseling

Couples therapy helps couples of all types recognize and resolve conflicts and improve their relationships. Through counseling, you can make thoughtful decisions about rebuilding and strengthening your relationship or going your separate ways. Couples therapy typically includes both partners, but sometimes one partner chooses to work with a therapist alone. The specific treatment plan depends on the situation. Couples who have or are experiencing domestic violence or dating violence currently or in the past are not appropriate for couples counseling due to safety issues and clinical contraindications. Couples therapy can be used to work through short term issues or long term conflicts that impact the fiber of the relationship.

Play Therapy

Play therapy allows trained mental health practitioners who specialize in this approach to assess and understand children’s play. Further, play therapy is utilized to help children cope with difficult emotions and find solutions to problems. Although everyone benefits, play therapy is especially appropriate for children ages 3-12 years old. Teenagers and adults have also benefited from this type of therapy. Play therapy has been utilized for multiple social, emotional, and behavioral disorders, such as anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum, oppositional defiant/conduct disorders, anger management, crisis and trauma, grief & loss, divorce, and disabilites of all types.

Child & Adolescent

Counseling

Child/Adolescent therapy is meant to treat a mental health condition or help a child manage their symptoms so that they can function well at home, in school, and in their community. When children are young, it is common for therapy to include the parent in some role of the therapeutic process where appropriate. Older children an often times meet with the therapist alone & establish their own rapport, goals and relationship. Psychological therapy with children can include talking, playing, or other activities to help the child express feelings. Therapists may also observe parents and children together and then make suggestions for finding different ways to react. Sometimes, a combination of therapies is the most effective for helping a child.

Family Therapy

Family therapy helps family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. In family therapy, you will learn the skills you need to get through the stressful times and to deepen relationships. You may work to generally improve troubled relationships or to address specific issues such as marital or financial problems, conflict between parents and children, or the effects of substance abuse or a mental illness on the entire family. Families in therapy will learn new ways to interact and overcome unhealthy patterns for the benefit of the entire family. Family therapy can help with a variety of family dynamics, including divorce, addiction in the family, generational trauma, establishing healthy boundaries, and more.

Parenting Therapy

& Support

Parenting may be challenging, even with time and patience, and almost every parent occasionally feels negative emotions like stress and frustration, anxiety or sadness. Although parental difficulties can occur at any time, this is particularly true during the perinatal period. These challenges can occasionally be very severe and persistent. Such ongoing stress can harm both your health and your relationships, especially those with your kids and other people in your life. Working with a therapist can be a great approach to learn new parenting techniques, improve coping mechanisms, and have a better understanding of the difficulties of parenting. Parents can decide whether to pursue treatment alone, with a spouse, or with other family members.

EMDR &

Trauma Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from trauma and other distressing life experiences. EMDR therapy does not require talking in detail about the distressing issue or completing homework between sessions. Therapists use EMDR therapy to address:

Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias
Chronic Illness and medical issues
Depression, bipolar, dissociative and personality disorders, and eating disorders
Grief, loss, and pain
PTSD & sexual or childhood trauma or abuse
Substance abuse and addiction

You can learn more about EMDR here.

Telehealth &

Online Services

Online telehealth enables customers and patients to participate in medical visits virtually, including professional healthcare specialists like counselors. Clients and physicians can see and hear each other when using desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones when doing this often through video conferencing. You can frequently attend a telehealth session from your home, your place of employment (in a private room), or even in your vehicle (parked in a safe location). Online therapy is often utilized for non-emergency concerns such as self-improvement, family dynamics, school, work, romantic relationships, changing habits, depression, anxiety, low-to-moderate severity obsessions and compulsions, trauma recovery, skill development, spiritual issues, and problem solving.

Industrial Psychology

Industrial psychology refers to the applied organizational psychology used to study, analyze, and understand human behavior in the workplace, mainly how business works and how employees’ function. The Emotional Wellness team can offer workplace training and education on a variety of cutting-edge topics such as Domestic Violence in the Workplace, Critical Incident Debriefing, Trauma in the Workplace, Trauma Informed Leadership, Strategic Planning, Program Development, Team Building, Ethical Communication, and others. Our team works with agencies to cater a curriculum or training to the specific agency needs in a way that provides strategic wellness-based outcomes.

First Responders

From exposure to traumatic events to working long hours under extreme stress, first responders are at high risk for mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, and burnout. Early intervention is critical when it comes to mental health. Our practice offers trauma-informed counseling specifically tailored to the needs of first responders. These sessions provide a safe space to process trauma, learn coping strategies, and develop resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) are common techniques used to treat trauma-related disorders in first responders. Our practice also offers services to the family and loved ones of the first responder.

Each client has a unique background, distinct goals, and varying availability. We often find that significant progress can be made within six to eight sessions. Some clients see progress sooner, others prefer to work more slowly and deliberately if their journey is prolonged. Most clients are seen on a bi-weekly basis.

The Emotional Wellness department is committed to providing tools and preparation to equip you beyond your sessions. It is not in your best interest to keep you longer than you need help, nor is it ethical practice for therapy to extend beyond the goals and needs of the client. We hope to empower you as a person, helping you meet your emotional and relational goals and equipping you to do so long after sessions have ended. Each client works with their therapist to establish treatment goals that meet their needs and address their individual story and complexity with compassion and integrity.

Don’t worry, we don’t take it personally. Not everyone is a good fit. We completely get that. You have the right to choose your therapist and to switch therapists at any time. We want you to feel good about your choice, and we will work hard to find the right therapist for you, even if that means referring you to providers outside our practice. If you don’t feel like your therapist is a good fit, just let us know. You can speak with your therapist directly, or you can reach out to our Director at jaimec@chealthpartners.com .

The Emotional Wellness department considers confidentiality one of the key components of the therapeutic relationship. Your stories, personal feelings, emotions, and histories are your privilege to share and completely yours to entrust within the confines of your sessions. If you are meeting in the office, please know that the utmost effort has gone into making the room secure and private. If online sessions are held within your own home, you can feel comfortable that you are in control of the environment around you.

Prior to your first session, you will review and sign our Client Intake/Consent Paperwork. This agreement includes Informed Consent and clarifies how information is shared and kept confidential. It should be noted that there are a few exceptions to the limitations of confidentiality, in accordance with Florida state law as well as professional ethics and guidelines:

If your therapist believes you are at risk of hurting yourself or another person, your therapist may breach confidentiality to protect your or parties in potential harm.
If your therapist suspects child or elder abuse in any form, Florida state law requires your therapist to report any relevant information to the proper authorities.
If your therapist is subpoenaed for court, your therapist may be required to disclose confidential information, though every effort will be given to uphold and protect your rights and you will be notified of the subpoena prior to any disclosure.

Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) are mental health professionals trained in psychotherapy who diagnose and treat mental and emotional disorders within the context of relationship systems. MFTs focus on understanding your problems from a systemic, relational perspective. Marriage and Family Therapists are recognized as a core mental health profession along with psychiatry, psychology, social work, and psychiatric nursing. MFTs take a holistic perspective to health care, and they are concerned with the overall, long-term well-being of individuals and their families.

Licensed Clinical Social Workers are mental health professionals who are eligible to provide clinical services at an independent level. They are able to assess, diagnose and provide treatment for mental, emotional and behavioral issues. Licensed Clinical Social Workers also educate the public and bring awareness to mental health issues. This advocacy helps to remove the stigma of mental illness, which can be a barrier to obtaining treatment.

Professionals who provide psychotherapy include psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, licensed professional clinical counselors, licensed marriage and family therapists, pastoral counselors and psychiatric nurse practitioners. Of that group, psychologists, psychiatrists and social workers are the most common. All these professionals are trained to offer psychotherapy, but there are differences in their education and training.

Psychologists attend graduate school in psychology. The American Psychological Association recognizes the doctoral degree as the minimum educational requirement for psychologists; these degrees include the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), PsyD (doctor of psychology), or EdD (doctor of education). Some states allow people with master's degrees in psychology to use the term “psychologist.” Graduate training focuses on all aspects of human behavior, with an emphasis on research and scientific methods. Training for the PhD, PsyD, and EdD typically includes four to six years of academic preparation, followed by one to two years of full-time supervised work with patients and licensing examinations. Psychologists in some states can prescribe psychiatric medications with additional training, although this is not the case in most states.

Psychiatrists attend medical school and earn an MD (Doctor of Medicine) or DO (doctor of osteopathic medicine) degree. They can go on for additional, specialized training in psychiatry during residency (an additional three to four years). Training for psychiatrists focuses primarily on biological aspects of mental illness. Because of their medical training, psychiatrists can prescribe medications, and their work with clients may include talk therapy combined with medications.

Social workers attend graduate school in social work, earning an MSW (Master of Social Work) or LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) degree. Training typically includes two years of coursework and practical experience working at agencies in the community. Social workers are trained to perform psychotherapy, with a particular emphasis on connecting people with the community and support services available there. Marriage and Family Therapists often have a graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling and then proceed with a license in the mental health profession of Licensed Marriage and Family Therapy or Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMFT/LMHC).

All appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours in advance, or a $50 fee will be charged. You can reschedule or cancel your appointment by communicating with our secure voicemail at 239-659-7751 or our secure email at ew@chealthpartners.com.

Of course, we understand that life happens. Sickness, accidents, and emergencies can be entirely unpredictable and sometimes 24 hours notice is impossible. Grace and compassion will be extended to those with extenuating circumstances, and no charge will ever be made when canceling due to inclement weather, as safety always comes first.

Yes, our therapists offer teletherapy. Our teletherapy is conducted on a secure platform that is embedded in our EHR software. Instead of meeting your therapist in our offices, you’ll meet via video conferencing software. You and our staff will schedule a time to meet online, then your therapist will send you a link to join the video call. When you click on the link, you’ll see your therapist appear on your screen, and your session will progress as it would in-person. It is essential that the client is in a secure, private and safe location while the session is taking place.

Welcome! It is totally normal to be a little nervous or apprehensive about starting therapy, the therapeutic relationship is a deeply personal experience. On your first visit, many therapists begin with reviewing any paperwork, assessments and discussing what brought you into the office today. Often times the therapist is going to review the biopsychosocial history of a client and the issues they are struggling with. The first session is very client centered and trauma informed regarding presenting problem, goals and building rapport. In many ways, therapy feels like a personal and open conversation about things that we are struggling with or feel conflicted about…a therapist is there to facilitate the conversation while using their clinical expertise to assess the issue, provide feedback, interventions, solutions, referrals, and recommendations.

Prospective clients can access our intake forms on our website Emotional Wellness | Community Health Partners | Naples

and submit our intake and registrations forms from our website. Once our intake coordinators have all the signed and completed forms, they will contact you and proceed with booking your appointment with a clinician who matches your needs and your schedule. We will not book or hold appointments until completed paperwork has been received, this allows us to ensure the safety and ethical nature of the client/therapist relationship.

Usually this is decided between the therapist and the client and is dependent on the treatment plan and level of care needed. Most clients are seen bi-weekly and usually therapists will book out a maximum of 3 appointments in order to preserve the fluidity of their schedule. Multiple appointments in the same week can usually not be accommodated as for many clients that would indicate the necessity of a higher level of care such as an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

Couples counseling when there has been domestic violence of any kind is contraindicated, unsafe and unethical. Domestic violence is often about power and control and couples therapy can exacerbate the safety issues and it doesn’t allow for a safe environment for the therapeutic process to occur. Domestic violence is not a relationship problem, and therefore can’t be treated in couples counseling. If you are a victim of domestic violence and/or feel unsafe in your relationship, please work with your individual therapist to develop a safety plan or access the following resources.

Patients that need forms, documentation, clinical records etc. please submit a request on our website Emotional Wellness | Community Health Partners under the tab “Request for Documentation” and your request will be submitted securely to our team. Please be mindful that the turnaround time for these requests is between 3-7 business days. Please be mindful that more extensive or complex requests may take an extended amount of time, but our office is happy to coordinate an expected schedule with you.

Our practice is not equipped to provide emergency mental health care. The community mental health center in Collier County is the David Lawrence Center. Patients who are in immediate need of assistance after hours or on holidays, please call DLC at 239-455-8500. Additional referrals are provided below. If you are an active patient of ours, our therapists will gladly assist you in agency collaboration during their office hours.
