Our Process

Upon initially contacting The Fifth Avenue Counseling Center, you will speak with one our dedicated administrative team members to verify your insurance information.

Next, an initial assessment will be scheduled with one of our clinicians. During this 60 minute assessment, the therapist will gather details about your reasons for seeking treatment as well as historical information related to mental health, medical history, family, relationships, and more. The information from this assessment allows our leadership to connect you with a therapist, as well as helps to begin shape initial treatment goals.

A majority of clients request individual psychotherapy, which typically occurs once per week for the duration of 45 minutes. Individual psychotherapy is provided by clinical social workers and psychologists.

Clients that request or require medication management will have an initial psychiatric evaluation with one of our board certified psychiatrists, and may engage in monthly medication management for ongoing evaluation and prescription renewals.

The Fifth Avenue Counseling Center also provides couples counseling. Partners will be evaluated both together and individually by a clinician trained in couples therapy provision. Should ongoing couples counseling be recommended, various dyadic approaches are used to support partners with improvement of communication skills, or through conflict resolution and other interpersonal challenges.

Lastly, group therapy may be helpful in accomplishing client goals. If so, the clinic currently offers a weekly 60 minute mindfulness group.

Our goal is to provide the most appropriate and indicated care for individuals’ presenting problem. As a result, should a potential client require comprehensive or specialized services, they may be referred to highly regarded specialist care.
