We are excited to announce more news for our practice. As many know, we have expanded and moved our practice from Fairview Park to Westlake! We have three wonderful new therapists who will be joining our practice! Their bios will be soon available on our website: www.ipsyhealth.com

Furthermore, we are starting several groups for teenagers and adults, including dialectical behavioral therapy for adolescents, resiliency groups for teen girls and boys, and anger management for adults and adolescents. Stay tuned for updates on meeting times!
We are grateful to continue being of service to our community and continue to decrease stigma associated with mental illness!

Warmly,

IPH

Here is a short article about telepsychology.  Telebehavioral health means using a HIPAA certified video platform in order to virtually meet with people who would otherwise not be able to access mental health treatment.

With the holidays upon us, this can be a peaceful and joyous time of the year. However, this can also be  a lonely, difficult time for many who have struggled with loss or isolation. 

At IPH, we are offering a support group to help those struggling with loneliness and loss.  We plan on providing this weekly support group over the next 4 months. The first meeting will take place this week Thursday 12/15/16 at 4:00 pm.  Please call us at 216-801-4656 to learn more, or email us at iph@ipsyhealth.com
​
From the staff at IPH, we would like to extend our warmest wishes for a healthy and peaceful holiday season for all!

Various group therapies are being offered at IPH, starting late August (parenting, anger management, social anxiety and more). In case you have any questions, here is an article about group therapy from APA. The most basic tenet to remember is that whatever is said in group, stays in group. Also, it wouldn't be a group without people in it, so attendance is important! Here is a bit more about what to expect.

Father's Day is difficult for some. For those who lost their father, had an unhealthy relationship with their father, or never knew their father, this can be a particularly challenging day. May this day land gently for you. Here is a blog on how to survive father's day from Psychology Today.
