About LifeStance Health – Vancouver
LifeStance Health, formerly Western Psychological and Counseling Services, is an outpatient counseling and therapy center in Vancouver, Washington. The treatment here is individualized based on you and what you need. They really construct your treatment plan around you rather than trying to fit you into a pre-structured treatment program that might not apply to your situation. They treat you as a whole person rather than just a number or an addiction.
The substance abuse treatment here will vary from person to person. The core of it is individual therapy and addiction counseling which you can get either in person or through telehealth sessions. They also have peer support groups so you can work through the journey of recovery with other people who are in your shoes. They also have medication assisted therapy (MAT) which is where they use specialized medications that lower the physical symptoms of opioid or alcohol withdrawal and cravings.
One thing I especially want to point out about this treatment center is that they don’t just treat addiction. As a broad counseling and therapy center, they can help with any other needs related to mental and emotional health. That can include anything from OCD to depression to PTSD to trauma. So if you have a dual diagnosis, you can get help for your mental health here, too.
Some clients have mentioned frustration with the administrative side of things at this facility, but most are thrilled with the care they’ve received from their therapists. They say the counselors here are welcoming and compassionate and that they have keen skills for knowing how to guide clients toward recovery.
