Treatment and Staff
USVI’s program provides clients with direct clinical and crisis intervention services. To begin, clients meet with a staff therapist for an intake session which determines the level of care required.

USVI’s treatment approach aims to cultivate positive change in behavior, with the goal of helping clients live enriched and healthier lives. Clients partake in individual and group therapy, psycho-education classes and crisis intervention.
Groups are scheduled throughout the week on a variety of topics. Most often, clients begin by attending at least two to three sessions per week, depending on the level of care needed. They also independently schedule one on one sessions, either weekly or bi-weekly. USVI staff includes a Master’s-level therapist, a Master’s-level clinician and a staff counselor.
