Here’s how Safe Place works:

Step One – A young person enters a Safe Place and asks for help.

Step Two – The site employee finds a comfortable place for the youth to wait while they call the licensed Safe Place agency. For the greater San Antonio area that is Roy Maas Youth Alternatives (RMYA).

Step Three – An RMYA staff member will talk with the youth to get more information and explain that an SAPD officer can escort them to the RMYA Bridge Emergency shelter.  If the child is agreeable, the RMYA staff will contact SAPD to transport the youth to the shelter. 

Step Four – Once at the Bridge, direct-care staff and counselors meet with the youth and provide support. Agency staff ensures the youth and their families receive the help and professional services they need.

This program is for youth under the age of 18 in need of immediate help and safety.

• Couples Therapy

In couple’s therapy, clients are able to work to improve relationship quality with the help of a trained therapist in a 45-50 minute session. Couples explore what is helping or hindering their relationship, how to set and communicate healthy boundaries, and can increase feelings of connection and closeness during this process. This type of therapy can help identify what may be causing strain within a relationship or address specific problems with various forms of therapeutic intervention.

• Family Therapy

Family therapy is a type of group therapy that works with family members to identify familial patterns or behaviors that cause relational strain or individual issues. With the help of a therapist trained in familial counseling, family members can focus on changing destructive patterns and behavior, improving relationships, and enhancing communication. Over the course of family therapy sessions, family members can be guided through problem-solving techniques that can fuel solid, stable, healthier, and happier relationships with one another.

In group therapy, a client is paired with other clients that are experiencing similar issues and guided through productively discussing what they are going through in a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

Though every client involved in the group may be at different stages of their treatment process, discussing shared experience and having others to relate to can greatly relieve feelings of isolation or disconnection.

With time, clients can learn to find validation in the balance between their own and others’ experiences and develop coping skills to maintain a healthy and stable life.

Obsessive Compulsive and Related Disorders (OCD) are a group of conditions that affect around 2% of the population. These disorders impact people’s lives in a real and frequently devastating manner.

OCD compels people to exhibit behavior or experience thoughts that seem to be out of their control. Further, these thoughts and behaviors often feel mandatory, as if they are not a choice…people feel that they must complete these rituals to feel “OK”. That is a powerless position, one that many endure daily in their battle against their symptoms of anxiety and distress.

River Bend Counseling is partnering with The OCD Clinics to provide a variety of treatment options. Depending on your schedule and need, we provide traditional outpatient treatment or a more frequent format, the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). IOP is appropriate for those who have more severe symptoms or who are ready to focus on recovery in a four-day-per-week format.

OCD often responds to evidence-based approaches called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, specifically Exposure/Response Prevention (E/RP). Our approach is to provide treatment in the clinic and the community. We tailor the specific Treatment Plan based on the specific needs of each client.

Our staff have received extensive, advanced clinical training in the implementation of OCD treatment techniques. Our clinicians are BTTI Graduates.
