This services also provides adjustment counseling to individuals struggling with elevated stress related to life changes.

 Individual Therapy is also available for parents/natural caregivers of individuals being served by Northland Connections who experience their own behavioral-emotional challenges which directly interfere with providing sound care for their family member with a developmental disability.

The specific course of treatment varies from individual to individual.  In general, new therapy clients start at one session per week for up to 12 weeks.  After this, clients typically titrate to every other week for up to an additional 12-16 weeks.
