LIFT may be a good fit if you:

o Experience frequent crises involving risks to safety

o Experience high stress and conflict in the home

o Have tried receiving traditional therapy without desired results

o Are considering residential treatment or therapeutic boarding schools

o Are looking to sustain the outcomes made from a residential or facility-based treatment, as your child transitions back into your home

o Want to have a voice and choice in your child’s treatment

o Are ready to participate and invest in your child and family’s health, receive the support of a highly coordinated team and treatment plan, and achieve lasting results

o Need a high level of care but do not want to disrupt school attendance or other extra curriculars, social activities, professional, or athletic activities essential to your child’s well-being.

We understand that families needing a higher level of care often need to begin services urgently. Please give us a call at (214) 380-3485 to complete a complimentary phone consultation and to schedule an assessment. You can also email us at team@lift-therapies.com. We will discuss a more specific timeline for getting started during our consultation call.

The first visit with LIFT involves a comprehensive assessment which is completed by a therapist. During this assessment, the therapist will spend time meeting individually with the child, with the parent/guardians, and with the family altogether.

The purpose of the comprehensive assessment is to gather information, including your history, current concerns, and hopes for treatment. This assessment helps us to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your child and family.

Success looks different for each client, however families typically transition to a lower level of care within 6-18 months of our intensive, family-based treatment.

We ask that families commit to following the recommended treatment plan for a minimum of three months.

The frequency of sessions varies for each family and is dependent on your individual needs and goals. Because this is an intensive, family-oriented approach to treatment, you can expect to meet with each provider of your treatment team approximately once a week. We may recommend a higher frequency of sessions at the beginning of treatment and reduced frequency of sessions toward the end of your treatment.

Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes. However, the length of scheduled sessions is determined based on your individual needs and duration can be adjusted during scheduling conversations with your therapist. Extended sessions are available upon request and on a case-by-case basis. Please note that sessions start and end on time to respect the appointments of other clients.
