Numerous things may cause stress or a disruption in a person’s life and routines. Without seeking help, their situation may become worse. Bright Harbor Healthcare’s outpatient mental health services are designed to address situations such as:
Traditional therapy and counseling often include talking through issues and looking at root causes of the difficulties people face. At Bright Harbor Healthcare, our therapists and staff offer Solution Focused Brief Therapy as an alternative to traditional therapy. This type of therapy focuses on identifying solutions. With Solution Focused Brief Therapy, therapists show people that they can learn new skills which can be used now and in the future to better cope with, and move beyond, the problems they face in their lives. Ideally, treatment should last about 8-12 sessions, and when completed, people will KNOW what they learned in the course of treatment.
We provide outpatient mental health services in Bayville, Manahawkin, Point Pleasant, and Toms River offering affordable, comprehensive, and easily accessible behavioral health care. These are available for individuals of all ages
Our highly trained and experienced staff provides services in a comfortable, friendly setting. We remain respectful of each person’s individuality, cultural background and religious affiliation.
