Activity therapy

Refers to therapy that utilizes creative arts, physical movement, sound and rhythm, leisure activities, and dramatic role-playing to aid in the treatment of emotional and mental health issues.

Cognitive behavioral therapy

Refers to a form of therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns. Clients work with a therapist, either individually, in a family setting, or in a group setting, to identify and replace unproductive thoughts with more positive and realistic ones. The client is encouraged to be an active participant in the therapy process.

Couples/family therapy

Involves group sessions with a therapist at Atlanta Medical Center who facilitates discussions and problem-solving activities to enhance the understanding between couples and family members and improve their relationships. This type of therapy addresses problematic behaviors that could contribute to serious mental health issues. Family therapy also provides education about mental illness, and teaches coping skills for dealing with the challenges of having a family member with a mental illness, such as managing feelings of anger or guilt.

Electroconvulsive therapy

Also known as electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), it involves the use of low-voltage electrical stimulation to the brain to treat severe forms of depression, mania, and certain types of schizophrenia. This treatment option is considered as a last resort when other therapies have failed, the individual is suffering from a serious medical illness and/or unable to take medication, or they are at high risk of attempting suicide. Recent advancements in equipment, dosing procedures, and anesthesia have greatly reduced the occurrence of side effects associated with ECT.

Group therapy

Involves small groups, typically consisting of 4 to 12 individuals who share similar challenges, meeting regularly with a therapist at Atlanta Medical Center. The therapist leverages the emotional interactions within the group to provide relief from distress and potentially modify the behavior of the group members.

Integrated Mental and Substance Use Disorder treatment

A treatment approach that addresses both mental illness and substance abuse simultaneously, offered by a single clinician or treatment team. This long-term, community-focused program uses specialized counseling specifically designed for individuals with co-occurring disorders.

Individual psychotherapy

Focuses on addressing a patient's current life and relationships within their family, social, and work environment through one-on-one therapy sessions. The aim is to identify and resolve issues with a deeper understanding, and also to build upon the patient's strengths.
