Throughout our lives, we are confronted with change and its consequences on the world around us. Change is a common occurrence in our everyday lives. However, there are occasions when change is the consequence of a significant life shift, and our capacity to adjust to the new environment exceeds our skill level. Therapy provides an opportunity for people or families to absorb the implications of this life shift. When faced with a shift, we often search for ways to accommodate it into our daily lives. In the case of a big life transition, therapy can help us establish how our current lives will adapt to this fundamental adjustment. Your therapist is here to help identify these issues and the other adjustment issues as you move forward through the many life transitions that help to create the person we are today.

TeleMental Health is the same as traditional face-to-face cognitive behavioral therapy.

The U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration promotes the use of telehealth for various reasons and through a variety of methods.
Unless it is essential, due to the Coronavirus, Healthcare Providers may not be allowed in your community if an individual is home-bound or the individual prefers this method of therapy. Many residents in Assisted Living and Nursing Homes are having difficulties understanding this National Emergency, and as a result, it creates “Fear, Anxiety, and Isolation”.
Your community, through its relationship with Premier Choice, would offer your residents this valuable option for therapy. This service is offered to residents for individual sessions via telephone or if appropriate, face-to-face in the privacy of resident’s apartments/rooms.

Conditions/situations for Resident/Patient referrals:
An adjustment (transition) disorder develops when a person is unable to adapt to or cope with a specific stressor, such as a big life event. This illness is also known as situational depression because patients with it exhibit symptoms similar to those of sadness, such as overall loss of interest, feelings of hopelessness, and sobbing. Unlike severe depression, the disease is triggered by an external stressor and often disappears after the individual is able to adjust to the circumstance.
Premier Choice Medical Group practitioners are State of Florida Licensed Clinical Psychologists or Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) who specialize in mental health therapy and do baseline initial evaluations.
