Service Category Spotlight: Counseling and Therapy
This year, Clarvida introduced Service Category Leaders who are responsible for supporting, improving and growing service lines that will drive the most growth, revenue and impact for Clarvida. They will also identify and implement processes that help Clarvida deliver a best-in-class employee experience and best-in-class care for our clients.
Our Service Category Leaders have created an overview of our key services, and we are introducing each service to help people learn more about the incredible work at Clarvida. We are proud to spotlight Counseling and Therapy, written by the service lead, Cindy Greer, who is based in Arizona.

Tell us about the service category:
Counseling typically involves working with a mental health counselor on a specific challenge for a limited amount of time. For example, counseling can help you if you’re having problems with your marriage. You may see a marriage counselor to help learn how to improve communication with your spouse.
Therapy typically can be more long-term and focuses on you as a person and how you see yourself, your thoughts, and your behaviors, as well as the underlying patterns of why you do the things you do. For example, if you were suffering from anxiety, you and your mental health therapist can explore how anxiety, our past history including trauma and how it impacts your everyday. Therapy is goal focused based off where the client is and their treatment goals.
