About Polaris Counseling and Consulting

Polaris Counseling and Consulting is on Mineral Spring Avenue in North Providence, Rhode Island. Services include therapy for mental health and substance use disorders. They also offer couples therapy and individual therapy sessions for anger management.

60 Years of Mental Health and Addiction Treatment Experience

One of the things I noticed about this group is that it has 10 therapists with a combined experience of 60 years. If you’re working to eliminate an addiction, they offer substance use evaluations and treatments. With the help of a clinician, you’ll evaluate your relationship to alcohol and other substances. You and your therapist will then decide on the psychotherapeutic treatment most appropriate to start you on your path to recovery.

Mental health plays a big role in substance use, making therapy an effective treatment modality. You’ll discover the role any co-occurring mental health disorders play in your substance use. Depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder are a few of the mental health challenges underlying substance use for many people. By working with a therapist, you’ll learn better ways of coping with and treating your mental health issues which will help on your sober journey.

If you’re in a relationship, couples therapy may also be part of your therapy process. Arguing styles, parenting, and communication are all topics that are good to process with a partner.

Anger management therapy is often group therapy, but not everyone wants to air their relationship with anger in a group. I think many clients will appreciate that this clinic offers individual anger management therapy where you can develop healthier coping mechanisms to deal with anger.

Setting Mental Health and Crisis Policies in North Providence

Another interesting program I found at this clinic is boutique consulting. They work with nonprofits, corporations, and professionals to train employees to be more sensitive to mental health issues in the workplace. They help teams set mental health and crisis procedures and policies and learn how to promote wellness and prevent burnout among employees.
