Alternative Consulting Enterprises

We offer services in many different areas, including:

Children and Adolescent Services
Providing treatment and assessment services for adults, children, and adolescents for a variety of conditions.

Developmental Disabilities
Frequently, people with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, various genetic and chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome and Fragile X syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder are described as having developmental disabilities.

Grief and Bereavement
Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss. Although conventionally focused on the emotional response to loss, it also has physical, cognitive, behavioral, social, and philosophical dimensions. Common to human experience is the death of a loved one, whether it be a friend, family, or other companion. While the terms are often used interchangeably, bereavement often refers to the state of loss, and grief to the reaction to loss. Losses can range from loss of employment, pets, status, a sense of safety, order, or possessions, to the loss of loved ones.

Severe Psychosis
The treatment of psychosis depends on the cause or diagnosis or diagnoses (such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and/ or substance intoxication). There is growing evidence that cognitive behavior therapy and family therapy can be effective in managing psychotic symptoms.

BHRS Services
"Wraparound" is a nickname for Behavioral Health Rehabilitation Services (BHRS), which "wrap" around existing services. BHRS is a Medicaid-funded program providing trained professional support for children under age 21 to reduce or replace problem behavior with positive, socially appropriate behavior. Wraparound services are family and child-centered, and they can take place in variety of settings, not just one place. Services are defined by the Behavior Treatment Plan, or Behavior Care Plan. Progress is monitored with data, updated regularly and reevaluated every three months. Also, wraparound services are often very personal. Some families may need to adjust to new persons actively joining their daily activities.

Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is often applied in order to modify a subject's behavior, emotional content, and attitudes, as well as a wide range of conditions including dysfunctional habits, anxiety, stress-related illness, pain management, and personal development.

Trauma Therapy/Services

Mediation Services
We act as neutrals to serve all parties in disputes. Mediation is processes for helping people resolve disputes and disagreements. Trained mediators work with people in conflict to listen and help develop fair and workable agreements.
