: Outpatient and Pastoral Counseling
Outpatient counseling - Marital or family conflict, parenting concerns,
death of a loved one, abuse or trauma, stress, addictions, depression
and anxiety are just some of the issues that may bring adults to
Oaklawn for outpatient care. Many specialized services have been
designed for adults who are experiencing emotional problems, including
treatment for panic and anxiety or depression. Because Oaklawn’s
philosophy includes treatment of the whole person, several pastoral
counselors are available to individuals with spiritual concerns.
Outpatient professionals offer psychiatric and addictions assessments,
evaluations, and medication management, as well as individual, marital,
family and group therapy. Oaklawn has outpatient offices at convenient
locations throughout Elkhart County.
Groups
Oaklawn offers several groups to support people who have a serious
mental illness. Combining education, training and treatment, these
groups assist people in gaining the social, emotional and personal
skills they need to cope with daily living in addition to addressing
the problems caused by their illnesses. Dual diagnosis groups are
held for persons who have both a serious mental illness and a chemical
dependency. Following intensive outpatient treatment, an ongoing
relapse group assists individuals in identifying relapse warning
signs and developing a relapse prevention plan.
Pastoral Counseling
At Oaklawn, we believe that spiritual faith can be a vital factor
in recovery from an emotional illness or addiction. Oaklawn has
several pastoral counselors on staff who work with adults who are
struggling with issues of religion or faith. Our pastoral counselors
are part of multi-disciplinary teams of professionals, helping people
explore the link between mental and spiritual health. A chaplain
is also available for those in inpatient and residential programs.
