The Monte Nido program places a high priority on individualized plans and individual therapy as provided by Carolyn Costin, LMFT and Community Counseling. Each client has a therapist she sees three times a week, in addition to individual sessions with the clinical director, neuropsychiatrist and registered dietitian at least once a week. The therapists are assigned only two clients at a time so their attention is not divided among a number of clients. Additionally and most unique, the individual therapists, as well as other staff members eat meals with clients on a regular basis, run groups, and spend time at Monte Nido doing other activities. This promotes a bonding between therapist and client that is very strong. The therapist has a chance to see the client at her most difficult times, for example during a meal, and the therapist can serve as a role model for many situations.
Each client is assigned an individual therapist who sees the client three times per week. Additionally, each client has one-to-one sessions with the psychiatrist, medical doctor, the clinical director (as available) and the dietitian. The purpose of individual therapy is to resolve issues identified in the initial and ongoing assessment. In addition, the purpose is to explore the function(s) of the behaviors in relation to early childhood developmental deficits and current relationships. Individual therapy allows the clients to process individual issues that arise in groups and outside of the program. Licensed therapists and masters-level therapists gaining hours towards licensure provide the individual therapy. Individual therapy is a critical component of our residential treatment.
