Individual therapy appointments at Pinnacle Psychology typically are 50-minute sessions, scheduled as frequently as you and your mental health professional agree upon. A tailored treatment plan will be created shortly after your first few sessions, and you and your mental health provider will discuss the treatment interventions that are right for you.

Sometimes the issues affecting mental health occur because of a specific life event, and long-term therapy is not necessarily right course of action. Pinnacle Psychology offers brief, solution focused treatment to help identify the problem, and learn the coping skills needed to cope with a stressful experience. During your first session, you and your mental health provider will determine if brief therapy is appropriate for your mental health goals.

Adolescents struggling with chemical or virtual addictions and other mental health challenges can benefit greatly from the Teen Intervene Program. The program is also designed to help parents and other family members learn to support their teen through healthy communication skills and appropriate boundary setting.

In order to qualify for the Teen Intervene Program, the teen must complete a brief screening process. The teen will complete a brief assessment and complete various questionnaires to determine if the teen’s struggles are appropriate for the program.

Teen Intervene is a brief program designed to identify specific problems, provide short-term solution focused skills for the teen and the family, and create a specific and effective list of treatment recommendations/ referrals for the teen and the family.

The program is set up so the teen meets with a mental health provider for 3-4 individual sessions, and then the parents or guardian will then meet with the provider to review treatment progress, goals, and discusses recommendations. In the final session, the teen meets with their parents or guardian with the therapist to review progress and the treatment plan.

Program Screening (45-minutes): $190

Teen Intervene Program: $950

Program Screening fee ($190) will be applied to overall cost if teen qualifies for program.
