Hope in the Mountains prides itself on providing individualized client services adding the personal touch for which we are recognized. Services offered shall include:

Screening & Assessment

Behavioral and mental health assessments include a combination of tests, examinations, and screenings that provide information about how a patient is functioning. These tools help identify mental health and substance use problems, differentiate between mental and physical health problems and give insight into patients who received their referral due to issues at work, school, or home.

Diagnosis

Utilizing results from the clinical interview, screening and assessment, and clinical judgment, HITM clinicians will determine the patient’s emotional, socio-emotional, behavioral, or mental health symptoms as a diagnosable disorder in accordance with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition. Diagnosis will serve to inform treatment approaches with each patient.

Patient-Focused Treatment Planning

Hope in the Mountains utilizes a collaborative and person-centered approach to treatment planning. This approach is instrumental in supporting the attainment of personal outcomes for all patients receiving care and is uniquely beneficial. When patients are actively involved in their care, they experience improved clinical outcomes; these include being less likely to use emergency hospital services, being better able to manage complex chronic conditions, seeking appropriate assistance, experiencing reduced anxiety and stress, and having shorter hospitalizations. Patients are also more likely to adhere to their treatment plans and choose less invasive and costly treatments if they receive person-centered care.

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy is available to address complex issues and to assist you with building your motivation to change. Highly trained counselors are here to help you overcome obstacles to your well-being. Participation in therapy can increase positive feelings, such as compassion and self-esteem and allow you to learn skills for handling difficult situations, making healthy decisions, and reaching goals.

Group Therapy

Group Therapy serves as an integral piece of the Outpatient Services experience. In addition to strengthening relationships skills, reducing isolation and helping you find your voice, group therapy also is especially valuable for individuals dealing with depression, social anxiety and life transitions.

Family Therapy

Family therapy may be beneficial in helping to address family pain and heal a family’s wounds. Unless contraindicated, family therapy will be offered in combination with group and individual therapy.

Care Coordination

Care coordination is the process of helping a patient to access a range of different services in a way that promotes long term recovery. Hope in the Mountains treats the holistic needs of our patients and ensures that the care we provide includes regular interactions between clinicians and healthcare providers, the patient, family members, other agencies involved with the patient,  and any other significant persons. The goal of care coordination is to improve the patient’s health and functioning and is especially helpful for those who have complex mental and physical health care needs.
