Therapeutic Services
A key benefit of Bloom is our ability to create an individualized path for our clients’ growth. While individual therapy sessions are most commonly scheduled, our team approach allows us to offer supportive therapeutic services that complement and enhance your treatment with our elevated treatment model and therapeutic groups.
At Bloom, we strive to empower each client by joining with them in the process of exploring their feelings, thoughts, life experiences, and patterns, while also fostering the growth of their strengths.
Counseling Sessions
Bloom specializes in providing therapy for teens and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, stress, and trauma.
While we prioritize each client’s unique clinical needs, most individuals typically engage in weekly hour-long therapy sessions.
Bloom offers individual therapy, with session frequency and length tailored to meet each client’s specific needs.
Sessions are held in-person at our Stuart or St. Augustine offices, or online, available to Florida residents.
Elevated Treatment
At Bloom, we recognize that traditional one-hour weekly therapy is not always enough to meet every client’s needs.
Some individuals may require more frequent or intensive support to experience meaningful progress. That’s why we offer an Elevated Treatment Model, providing expanded, customizable services beyond standard outpatient therapy.
This approach allows us to create a comprehensive and adaptable treatment plan tailored to each client’s unique needs. Clients may:
Meet with their primary Bloom therapist more frequently or for extended sessions.
Work with additional Bloom team members to access specialized treatment methods.
At Bloom, our Elevated Treatment Model bridges the gap between traditional outpatient therapy and higher levels of care. This approach ensures that clients receive the support, structure, and specialized treatment they need—without having to enter a more restrictive treatment setting.
If you believe increased support could benefit you, we’re here to help design a treatment plan that meets your needs.
