Services We Offer
Private practice clinicians offer a comprehensive array of assessment and therapy services for children, adolescents, adults, and families.
Counseling & Psychotherapy

Private practice counseling services are offered in our PTP offices. We make every effort to understand and address the context within which each client lives and operates. Our clinicians believe every person makes the best adjustment to life circumstances within the range of options they believe they have, and that these options are limited by their view of the world and how to meet their needs and feel safe in it. Counseling helps clients expand their worldview and their options for dealing with recurring patterns of distress.
Psychiatric Services

Our medical director, a board-certified child psychiatrist, provides consultation and medication management for children, adolescents, and young adults. He leads a team of medical professionals and works in close collaboration with our clinical counseling staff.
Group Counseling

Group counseling is a unique experience that builds interpersonal skills, communication, and trust while learning to monitor and manage our equilibrium with greater independence and respect for social expectations. In a group setting, clinicians address the many issues of autonomy that children can find challenging – impulse control, social skills, peer relationships, and more.
Intensive Family-Based Therapy (IFI)

The intensive family-based therapy program is specially designed for children and their families who are experiencing prolonged distress and crisis situations. This service is conducted in the home and intended to strengthen and stabilize the family system and home environment while preventing potential out-of-home placements such as hospitalization. Intensive Family-Based Therapy also helps children who are re-entering the home environment from a higher level of care.
Diagnostic & Assessment Services (Savannah Office only)

PTP psychologists provide comprehensive psychological evaluations for children and adults that offer both a formal diagnosis and an understanding of the individual’s strengths and needs as they confront life challenges. These include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis (ages 0-17), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), cognitive abilities, and emotional experience. Additional evaluations are offered on parenting beliefs, domestic violence, and substance abuse.
The comprehensive and unique assessment and treatment planning process is founded on our belief that individuals and families must be understood in the context of their lives. Symptoms and presenting problems are best addressed and relieved when we understand them as an individual’s attempts to meet the demands of their lives.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

EMDR uses rapid sets of eye movements to help you update disturbing experiences, much like what occurs when we sleep. During sleep, we alternate between regular sleep and REM (rapid eye movement). This sleep pattern helps you process things that are troubling you.
EMDR replicates this sleep pattern by alternating between sets of eye movements and brief reports about what you are noticing. This alternating process helps you update your memories to a healthier present perspective.
Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)

PCIT is a short-term, specialized behavior management program designed for young children experiencing behavioral and/or emotional difficulties and their families.
PCIT teaches caregivers to manage their child’s difficult behaviors, while increasing their positive behaviors.
PCIT works with the child and caregiver together to improve behavior and reduce parenting stress.
Intensive Family-Based Program (IFI)

The Intensive Family Intervention (IFI) program is for families with children and teens who are experiencing prolonged distress and crises.
IFI family therapy services are conducted at home, school, or in the community. The focus: strengthen and stabilize the family, their home environment, and prevent out-of-home placements like hospitalization.
IFI services also assist youth re-entering their homes after receiving higher levels of care.
