Odyssey Community Counseling is dedicated to providing an atmosphere that is both safe and accepting of diversity. We understand that while there are aspects of being human that are shared by all, how we experience those aspects as individuals can vary greatly and we strive to make space for those differences. Our goal is to support people with inclusivity and care, and to hold a stance of multi-cultural awareness and respect for diversity across all races, ethnicities, mental or physical abilities, gender presentations, social economic statuses, sexual orientations, spiritual or religious beliefs, and other life aspects not mentioned. All of our staff members receive training and supervision on various areas diversity, and in particular, many of the therapists are drawn to supporting LGBTQI+ communities.
Some of the skills our therapists offer include Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), IMAGO Therapy (Couples Therapy), Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Attachment Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Franklin Reality Model, and systems based relationship therapy.
Conventional wisdom tells us that many people with mental health struggles also have underlying substance use disorders. Research shows that providing integrated services when a client has a co-occuring addiction and mental health concern improves the rate of recovery in both areas, and improves overall life functioning. Neuroscience supports that addiction is a brain disease and needs to be treated equally and in combination with mental health treatment. As a result, Odyssey has embraced an integrated approach and our mental health counselors are also trained in topics central to treating addiction.
Enrollment in the program involves a comprehensive assessment, creation of a collaborative treatment plan and individual and group sessions as needed. To enroll in the Odyssey program, please call 541-741-7107 to schedule an appointment.
