WHAT DOES A PRIMARY THERAPIST DO?
Engage Primary Therapists co-facilitate both curriculum-based and process oriented group therapy as part of one of our Intensive Outpatient Programs treating Children (10-12 years old), Teens (13-17) and young adults (18-25) suffering from mood disorders and/or anxiety that requires more than outpatient level of care. Primary therapists also facilitate weekly outpatient groups as well as individual therapy for a caseload of 5-10 individual clients outside of treatment program.
Primary therapists help bridge the gap from the child’s group environment to other internal treatment team members, as well as providing parents with weekly updates on their progress in treatment.
