OUR SERVICES
Therapeutic Intervention
We work with adults, children and young people.
Your therapeutic journey will be customised for your needs. Some clients with mild or very specific difficulties may benefit from 6-8 sessions, others require 12-14 sessions, and others more again.
We regularly assess progress and check in with your regarding your goals and how well you think therapy is going for you. We want you to get as much from the therapeutic process as is possible.
We are skilled and experienced in working with traumatic experiences, mood disorders, emotional difficulties, relationship difficulties, substance abuse and addictive behaviours, work and life stressors, grief and loss, transition to parenting, ADHD, ASD, and other major life transitions.
The foundation of our therapeutic work is relationship. Like the river, within the safe bounds of the waters edge, we move fluidly – working with your individual needs using a range of well tested and trusted, best practice interventions.
Intervention Modalities include cognitive behaviour therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, schema therapy, and motivational interviewing. This is not an exhaustive list!
Diagnostic Assessments and Screening
Adult ADHD Screening and Diagnostic Assessment
We currently have capacity to undertake both Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Screening and Diagnostic Assessment for adults (18+).
New clients are required to complete an ADHD screening assessment before a decision is made about going on to complete the full ADHD assessment. This initial stage provides an affordable way for exploring the likelihood of having ADHD through a professional, evidence-based screening.
At the conclusion of a full assessment, clients will be provided a formal diagnostic report with recommendations.
Please note: While we are able to recommend an ADHD medication review for those with conclusive ADHD diagnoses, we cannot prescribe medication. ADHD medication reviews and prescriptions must be carried out by a suitably trained GP, Nurse practitioner or a psychiatrist following their review of your diagnostic report.
Please use our contact form, or email office@riverpsychology.co.nz for more information, and pricing details.
