Individual Counseling, Trauma/Parenting Evaluations & Substance Use Treatment
Individual Therapy
Alliance Counseling & Therapeutic Services offers individual counseling both in office and remotely in Salem NH, and Southwest FL. We believe that therapy can provide a space to solve problems and heal wounds. Within a therapeutic relationship, therapy can provide structure for people to build strengths, support, and resources, and to discover solutions. It can also be a place to continue to grow and to learn more about yourself. Alliance Counseling Services is informed by narrative, systemic, cognitive-behavioral, and psychodynamic thinking.
Child Trauma & Parenting Evaluations
Ms. Elizabeth Palladino has been conducting trauma evaluations and parenting capacity evaluation for the Department of Children and Families through Children's Charter of Waltham, MA. for twenty years. She has served as an expert witness in a variety of child welfare topics for Courts throughout Massachusetts. She is currently completing these types of evaluations through Alliance Counseling and can accept Committee for Public Counsel Services funding. Child trauma evaluations are for children between the ages of 3 and 18. These evaluations take an in-depth look at the impact of child abuse and neglect on all areas of a child's functioning. The evaluations include recommendations related to the child's current behaviors and needs, and address questions regarding individualized treatment needs, parent-child relationship, support and accommodations, and permanency planning.
Parenting evaluations are an assessment of an individual caregiver's capacity to meet the physical, emotional, health, and safety needs of their specific child(ren). These reports make recommendations to assist the caregiver in achieving the goal of reunification and to support their relationship with their children.
Substance Use Treatment, DWI Aftercare & LADC Evaluations
Alliance Counseling & Therapeutic Services provides comprehensive substance use treatment, DWI aftercare support, and Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) evaluations for individuals seeking assessment, education, and recovery support. Services are tailored to address each individual's unique needs, with a focus on promoting long-term recovery, accountability, and improved quality of life.
Substance Use Treatment
Individualized outpatient substance use treatment is provided for individuals experiencing challenges related to alcohol or drug use. Treatment focuses on understanding patterns of substance use, identifying triggers, developing healthy coping strategies, improving relapse prevention skills, and strengthening recovery supports.
Co-Occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders
Many individuals experiencing substance use concerns also struggle with co-occurring mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related concerns. Treatment integrates evidence-based approaches to address both substance use and mental health needs, recognizing that effective recovery requires attention to the whole person.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
EMDR is an evidence-based trauma treatment approach designed to help individuals process and heal from distressing life experiences, traumatic events, and unresolved emotional experiences that may contribute to substance use, anxiety, depression, or other behavioral health concerns. EMDR may be incorporated into treatment when clinically appropriate to support emotional regulation, trauma recovery, and improved functioning.
DWI Aftercare Services
Kristen Welch is a State of NH Impaired Driver Service Provider (IDSP) and provides DWI aftercare and continued support following a substance-related legal incident, with an emphasis on education, accountability, risk reduction, and prevention of future impaired driving behaviors. Services may include exploration of alcohol and substance use patterns, development of relapse prevention strategies, identification of risk factors, and support in maintaining healthy behavioral changes.
LADC Evaluations
Comprehensive LADC evaluations are provided for individuals involved with court-related substance use matters, including DWI/DUI-related incidents. Evaluations include a clinical interview, review of relevant history, assessment of substance use patterns, consideration of DSM-5 diagnostic criteria, and recommendations based on individual needs. Evaluations are completed in a professional, objective manner and may assist courts, attorneys, and individuals in determining appropriate treatment recommendations and next steps.
