Columbia Psychotherapy Associates of Canaan, NY provides marriage counseling, psychotherapy and group therapy. When you first contact our office, we will schedule a meeting that will last about 45 minutes. During the meeting our psychotherapists will listen to your story. If we decide we can work well together, you schedule additional appointments. Once our doctors meet with you for two or three sessions, we will be able to give you recommendations for treatment. The first few meetings allow you and our staff to get to know each other and to answer any questions.
Once we get to know each other, the office may recommend psychotherapy or psychotherapy combined with medication. Our meetings are confidential, and only your insurance company, as long as you authorize it, receives information about your treatment.
We have experience with marital counseling, group therapy, therapy for individuals, working with senior citizens and marriage counseling for the entire family. Each type of therapy requires its own approaches. A depressed or anxious senior has different stressors than depressed adult children watching their parents go through a divorce. Addictions also require a different method, and those with an addiction may benefit through group therapy, rather than individual therapy. While the outcome may be the same, i.e., depression, the stressors are usually different and need to be addressed in the appropriate manner.
