SERVICES
Serving adults, children and families; professionals, communities and organizations
For individuals and families
Adult Trauma Therapy
Individual trauma therapy for adults typically involves assessment, treatment planning, psychoeducation, skill building, trauma reprocessing and post-traumatic growth. This can be delivered using a range of modalities to ensure a highly personalized experience.
Child & Adolescent Trauma Therapy
Individual trauma therapy for children and adolescents follows the same basic structure as for adults, but is delivered in an age-appropriate and often play-based manner. Parent involvement is essential and expected.
Family Trauma Therapy
Trauma never impacts just the person who directly experienced it. Family and friends are often left wanting to support their loved one or experience their own vicarious trauma. Family sessions can help all involved learn how to support each other and build resilience as group.
Trauma Intensives
For those who have been in therapy before and developed skills but still seek resolution to trauma symptoms, an trauma intensive can be a good fit. This program involves a time-limited experience of multiple sessions per week. Readiness is assessed before acceptance to this program.
Diagnostic Assessment & Second Opinion
Diagnostic clarity can be essential for everything from applying for benefits and services to the direction and focus of treatment in the future. In this service, a two hour assessment is completed and a written letter discussing the diagnosis is provided.
Executive Program
Professionals in high-stress, busy positions sometimes require what is considered "high touch" or especially individualized care. Invictus can create a custom experience for those who need something more than traditional therapeutic support.
