The Professional Renewal Center® offers a Day Treatment program for professionals who are seeking to make major changes in their life. Our program operates Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm. A large part of the program is offered in a group therapy setting. Clients attend six groups a day that systematically address multiple levels of functioning within their personal and professional lives. We specialize in the treatment of individuals who are struggling with disruptive behavior, professional sexual misconduct, mood and anxiety disorders, and substance and behavioral addictions. We also work with professionals who have trouble controlling their impulses or have been referred for treatment on the basis of their “personality type.” Our wide range of experience and expertise allows us to address and resolve a variety of complex problems through the use of sophisticated, multimodal treatment approaches. Through our extensive work with professionals, we have observed that a lack of understanding and appreciation for the processes, forces, and events that shape personal and organizational functioning often results in disruption and/or other professional issues.
In knowing this, we apply an individualized treatment algorithm; our central goal is tofoster an internalized and conscious set of skills and concepts that improve individual function on all levels (biological, psychological, interpersonal, and professional). The treatment methods we employ are empirically validated (e.g., cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic therapies, pharmacological interventions, biological and neurological (Alpha-Theta) feedback, psycho-educational training) and socially validated (“tried and true”) means of finding and sustaining health and vitality (e.g., a functional recovery program, spiritual renewal). Within the context of a thought-provoking and supportive environment, clients confront behaviors and ways of thinking that stem from and contribute to problems with self-regulation.
We help professionals to identify and explore:
-
the physical and somatic basis of stress and dysregulation;
-
distorted thought patterns and psychological defenses;
-
conflicted and disavowed emotions;
-
problematic role and relationship patterns and processes;
-
the dilemmas inherent in a professional lifestyle and environment; and
-
a process of change. In the pursuit of further understanding and insight as well as resolutions to difficulties, we encourage people to commit themselves to an ongoing process of compassionate reflection upon both themselves and their peers.
