We believe that a therapist’s primary goal is to help his/her clients discover and develop solutions for their presenting problem by offering insights, techniques and resources that will allow the client to better manage current and future situations in a healthy and rational way. Grand Rapids Counseling Services is committed to employing evidenced-based practices that are supported and approved by the U.S. Department of Human Services – Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The Transtheoretical model in conjunction with Motivational Interviewing have become the most widely acceptable ways to conceptualize problem behaviors and enhance client change. Both will be utilized in order to provide a level of uniformity throughout groups. In addition, the Diagnostic Statistical Manual IV Edition (DSM-IV) and five axis model is used as the standard for diagnosing clients and communicating with other professionals.
