Individual Counseling

We don’t take a “one-size fits all” approach to individual counseling at Serenity Lodge. While sobriety is a universal end goal, gender-responsive individual therapy can help Men get through existing or past trauma, develop healthier interpersonal relationships, improve their outlook on life, and work toward stronger mental and emotional health.

Typically, therapists conduct individual counseling sessions lasting 45 minutes to an hour. Depending upon program intensity, sessions can be weekly, multiple times a week, or even daily. Conversations with your therapists are completely confidential, unless Clients insinuate harming themselves or others.

Among other evidence-based methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy Program (DBT) are both highly effective techniques used to maximize your individual counseling experience, as well as your long-term recovery.

Serenity Lodge uses CBT to transform addictive behaviors. It encourages and embraces change in clients, preparing them for a more productive post-treatment life. Certain irrational beliefs stunted their growth for so long that the best course of action is to change them.

Our therapists encourage Clients to embrace their difficult situations and move toward positive behaviors.

In order for Serenity Lodge Clients to get the most out of their counseling, we encourage you to do the following:

• Be punctual and on-time to your appointments
• Ask questions
• Let our therapists know if something makes you uncomfortable
• Open up as much as possible
• Be patient, as recovery doesn’t happen overnight
