Group Therapy
What is Group Therapy? It is a therapeutic group that typically focuses on one issue and whose participants experience the same or similar mental health disorders. A therapist guides the group and often provide participants with coping mechanisms and tools they can implement into their daily lives. Individuals share their stories, and the therapist may provide guidance or highlight tips and tools for the group to consider. Groups tend to range from 5 to upwards of 20 people. Participation in Group Therapy can be in-person or via telemental health services. Please call the office at 941-893-3755, Extension 101 to register for a Group Therapy session.

Telemental Health
Telemental Health Services is online therapy and an amazing tool for clients who want or need to incorporate mental health counseling sessions into their lives without going to a physical in-office appointment.
Trauma Counseling
GSCC understands the need for compassion and skill when it comes to trauma counseling. Many clinicians at GSCC are trained or certified in the most current and beneficial therapeutic modalities to assist you in resolving your traumas.
Individual Therapy
Life can be stressful and overwhelming leading to unhealthy choices and conditions. Individual counseling (sometimes called psychotherapy, talk therapy, or treatment) is a process through which clients work one-on-one with a trained mental health clinician in a safe, caring, and confidential environment.
Couples Therapy
In relationships, most problems stem from a lack of communication. For some couples, fighting can become the norm. You and your spouse may feel overwhelmed or wonder if your marriage can even be salvaged. Conversations leave both partners feeling frustrated and not feeling heard. Couples Therapy is a safe place to learn, use, and practice new communication tools as a couple.
Family Therapy
Families do not always live in harmony. Life changes such as divorce, loss, or lifestyle adjustments can create conflict and tension. Feeling hostility in the home, or a disconnect in family communication is disruptive to a healthy family unit.
