About Telecare Tumwater E And T

Type of Care

1. Mental health treatment

Facility which provides services including therapy or psychotropic medication to treat a person’s mental health issue, reduce symptoms, and improve behavioral functioning and outcomes.

Facility Type

1. Residential treatment center (RTC) for adults

Facility is not licensed as a psychiatric hospital. The primary purpose of this facility is to provide adults with individually planned programs of mental health treatment services in a 24-hour care setting away from the stress of their home environment.

Treatment Approaches

1. Individual psychotherapy

Focuses on a patient's current life and relationships within the family, social, and work environments through one-on-one conversations with a therapist. The goal is to identify and resolve problems with insight, as well as build on strengths.

2. Couples/family therapy

An approach that uses discussions and problem-solving sessions facilitated by a therapist to help couples and family members improve their understanding of and the way they respond to one another. This type of therapy can resolve patterns of behavior that might lead to more severe mental illness. Family therapy can help educate about the nature of mental disorders and teach skills to better cope with the effects of having a family member with a mental illness, such as how to deal with feelings of anger or guilt.

3. Group therapy

Involves groups of usually 4 to 12 people who have similar problems and who meet regularly with a therapist. The therapist uses the emotional interactions of the group's members to (1) help them get relief from distress and (2) possibly modify their behavior.

4. Cognitive behavioral therapy

Involves recognizing unhelpful patterns of thinking and reacting, and then modifying or replacing these with more realistic or helpful ones. The therapy can be conducted with individuals, families, or groups, and clients are generally expected to be active participants in their own therapy.

5. Dialectical behavior therapy

Cognitive behavioral therapy approach with two key characteristics: a behavioral, problem-solving focus blended with acceptance-based strategies, and an emphasis on dialectical processes. "Dialectical" refers to the issues involved in treating patients with multiple disorders and to the type of thought processes and behavioral styles used in the treatment strategies. DBT emphasizes balancing behavioral change, problem-solving, and emotional regulation with validation, mindfulness, and acceptance.
