About Life Connections Dubuque
Located near the banks of the Mississippi River, Life Connections Dubuque provides outpatient services for individuals of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults grappling with mental health issues. They cater to clients starting from 18 months old, implementing therapies suitable for different age groups in various settings such as clinics, schools, homes, and through online platforms.
The center employs research-supported techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, medication management, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Additionally, children on the autism spectrum can benefit from applied behavior analysis (ABA). The dedicated team comprises licensed therapists, counselors, and prescribers who prioritize stability and ongoing support for clients.
One of the hallmark aspects of Life Connections is its commitment to empowering clients in their everyday lives during treatment. They provide both in-person and virtual therapy options that promote healthy habits, including school-based sessions aimed at helping students regulate their emotions and maintain concentration in the classroom. For children experiencing serious emotional disturbances (SED), the approach is tailored to ensure they can stay safely at home.
