Therapeutic Training and Support

Mission Statement:

Lighthouse Behavioral Health and Wellness Center was created in 2017 to provide behavioral healthcare services to members of the community informed by up-to-date, bona fide research on factors that contribute to positive outcomes in psychotherapy.

Therapeutic Training and Support staff member (TT&S) works in a team with a master’s Level Clinician. Their services can be in the home, school, or community to respond directly to the family and youth in their own environment and will serve to expedite wellness and recovery. Treatment is a strength-based model that identifies child and family strengths.

The In-Home Therapy team works with the family to develop a comprehensive assessment with a solution-focused Individualized Action Plan (IAP). A risk management/safety plan is designed with the family to help identify triggers and risk factors while defining useful interventions to reduce the risk of harm to self or others.

The TT&S’s role in the In-home therapy team is to provide case management and skill-building needs to the family while working in conjunction with the Master’s Level therapist.
