LCCS Announces the Opening of Several New Therapy Groups

LCCS — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:40:13 +0000

1. Emotional Sobriety for Men

The first of the new groups to be introduced is the Men’s Group under the name: Emotional Sobriety for Men.

The group is being opened to men in recovery from an addictive disorder whose concerns or focus in recovery is the practice of the principles of recovery in all their relationships and in all settings. Candidates need to be existing clients of Leadem Counseling & Consulting Services, PC and approved by their therapist for participation. 12 Step recovery community members are welcomed to contact the office for consideration but must participate in an assessment by one of our clinical staff before being approved for admission to the group.

We will offer the new men’s group on a bi-weekly basis for blocks of 4 sessions each (usually a span of 8 weeks). If you sign up for a 4-session block of groups, payment is expected prior to the start of the block for the entire 4 sessions. The fee for a 4-session block is $240^[1] payable by cash, check, or on our site http://www.leademcounseling.com/make-payment by credit card.

Individuals who prefer paying for individual groups are welcome to do so at the cost of $65 per group but availability must be cleared with the office prior to attendance. Members purchasing 4-session blocks will be guaranteed a seat.

No refunds will be given for prepaid groups that are missed. If your schedule requires a planned absence, a credit will be approved when proposed limited absences are reported at the time of paying for the 4-session blocks. Additionally sick days will earn a credit as long as it does not become habitual. Members consistently signing up for 4-session blocks will have their slot in the group reserved as the group will be restricted to 10 participants. Members paying on a weekly basis whose attendance is not consistent will not be insured a place in the group because absences block new members from joining the group.

Individuals requesting insurance receipts will receive the proper documentation after every group.

If you are interested in becoming a member of this group please contact the office.

Here are the particulars:

Starting:	Check for updates on scheduled starting date
Time:	Thursday 6 – 7:30 PM Every other week
Cost:	$60 per group if purchased in 4-Session Block = $240 paid by check or cash $65 per group if paid at the time of group or paid on a weekly basis on line
Members:	Men recovering from an addictive illness with 6 months of sustained abstinence, pre-approved by our staff, and actively involved in 12 Step recovery process.
Leader/s:	John V. Leadem, MSW, MS, CSAT Supervisor

2. Shared Program of Recovery

We are pleased to announce the start of a new therapy group for couples interested in learning to share their recovery journey with their partner.

The group is being opened to couples in which both partners are actively involved in a 12 Step recovery program and with each having a 6 month period of sustained abstinence from their respective “addiction.” Candidates need to be approved by an LCCS therapist. If you are aware of 12 Step recovery community members who might be interested have them contact the office for consideration following an extensive assessment by one of our clinical staff before being approved for admission to the group.

We will offer the new couple’s group on a bi-weekly basis for blocks of 2 sessions each (usually a span of 4 weeks). If you sign up for a 2-session block of groups, payment is expected prior to the start of the block for the entire 2 sessions. The fee for a 2 – session block is $240^[i] payable by cash, check, or on our site by credit card at: http://www.leademcounseling.com/make-payment.

Couples who prefer paying for individual groups are welcome to do so at the cost of $130 per group prior to group but availability must be cleared with the office prior to attendance. Members purchasing 2-session blocks will be guaranteed a seat.

No refunds will be given for prepaid groups that are missed. Sick days will earn a credit as long as it does not become habitual. Members consistently signing up for 2-session blocks will have their slot in the group reserved as the group will be restricted to 10 participants. Members paying on a weekly basis whose attendance is not consistent will not be insured a place in the group because absences block new members from joining the group.

Individuals requesting insurance receipts will receive the proper documentation after every group. The insurance receipt will be issued for each member of the relationship who has insurance in the amount of $60 per person for group therapy.

If you are interested in becoming a member of this group please contact the office. A final starting date for the group will be set after we reach a minimum number of four prepaid couples. Enrollments will be accepted on a first come first serve basis.

We have added all of the forms we need on the first session to the library page.

If you choose, you can still opt to complete the paperwork at the office prior to the start of the session. Additionally, we have made available the personal history forms that we require to be completed before the second session.
