Located at the intersection of Lancaster Avenue and County Line Road, the center provides
outpatient behavioral health care for individuals and families experiencing addiction, trauma, serious mental illness, or behaviors such as compulsive spending, eating disorders, gambling, or self-injury. The center offers flexible in-person and virtual options, allowing clients to participate in treatment while maintaining their daily routines at home, school, or work.
The center delivers counseling, coaching, and case management supported by evidence-based therapies such as
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (
DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and exposure therapies. Emotion efficacy therapy (EET) is also part of care, teaching skills for emotion regulation and coping. Family counseling and intensives combine education and experiential work to focus on specific issues between couples and families.
The TEAMS program provides a structured 3-phase approach across emotional, social, recreational, health, life, and career domains. Clients transition from assessment and stabilization to skill development, education, and vocational planning, followed by the establishment of balanced lifestyle goals and participation in meaningful activities. Services extend beyond therapy to intensive case management, daily structure planning, family updates, and transportation assistance, enabling clients to build resilience and sustain recovery.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Espenshade Counseling provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
