OUR SERVICES
Personalized patient care is what sets TAIBU CHC apart. When you visit one of our facility you can expect to receive world class care from expert physician specialists and caring clinical staff.
Our services address a wide variety of issues spanning from trauma (sexual and physical), depression, mental health, anxiety, low self esteem and/or societal stressors relating to the Social Determinants of Health (racism, poverty, housing, employment, family issues, etc.). The Social Worker/Therapist works from an anti-oppressive framework which encompasses both teaching and learning from clients about the different forms of oppression that occur simultaneously in their lives on a day-to-day basis. Our therapeutic model involves an integrative process involving Cognitive Behavioral Approach, Narrative Therapy, and therapy from a Recovery Model of Care.
Through therapy clients are empowered:
- To play an active role in the development of their recovery model of care.
- To engage in a process of personal empowerment which leads to self-awareness and clarity
- To engage in a highly effective way to move forward when feeling stuck and to move past emotional pain and discomfort.
