Why Suffer Needlessly?Our Individual Therapy sessions provided at Basic...
Basic Steps Mental Health, SPC is an Outpatient Treatment Center that treats the underlying causes of addiction and mood disorders through the use of Spiritual Psychology. Spiritual Psychology has been in use since the mid 1980s and Dr. Scott Alpert has field tested this approach in over 7,000 crisis sessions from 2002 to 2012 at the Mental Health Urgent Care in Long Beach California, in residential treatment for five years on the San Juan Island in Washington, and now in its outpatient form in Mukilteo Washington at our facility.
Spiritual Psychology is an alternative to the 12 Step approach, treating problems on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual levels. Most common treatment of addiction uses the 12 Steps which is a behavioral approach – treating problems on the physical level. Standard mental health treatment most commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – addressing issues mentally and physically, and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy – which is a mental approach. The strength of our program is addressing issues emotionally. Therefore, we have taken it upon ourselves to do something about the low success rates in King County and Snohomish County by addressing the whole person.
Our program empowers clients by teaching them how to be counselors to themselves. This type of approach helps people long term because they learn the real tools professionals use. Our program also provides practical field experience to interns just getting into the industry. We have dedicated ourselves to impact both client and budding therapist by conducting our program like a psychology school.
