Algoma Family Services - East Algoma Office - Elliot Lake - Brief Services - Single Therapy Sessions

Single therapy sessions provide “quick access” therapeutic encounters to address the immediate or presenting needs of a child or youth. A single therapy session may meet the needs of the child/youth and be all the treatment that is required. Counsellors can also help identify or clarify the need for further treatment or service such as counselling and therapy and/or additional services and community supports. Single Therapy Sessions are intended to: - provide timely, effective early intervention; - reduce need for more intensive and intrusive intervention; - improve functioning and resilience; - enhance awareness and understanding of the presenting problem; and - develop coping skills to deal with the problem.
