Counseling/Play Therapy

Emergence Health Network offers counseling services for individuals, couples, families, and groups which includes children ages 3-17 and adults who may need help with their behavioral health needs. Our licensed professionals at EHN are trained in several therapeutic approaches including Play Therapy used to assist children. Queen Espinoza and her EHN counselor utilize the Play Therapy Room at our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Clinic in east El Paso. Queen’s guardian says it’s really helped her niece. “Now Queen knows there is someone there to talk to and who has taught her how to use certain techniques to cope with her feelings. It’s worth speaking to someone and getting help, so your loved one can better understand what is going on with their emotions. Her quality of life is way better now. The Play Therapy Room is so inviting for children, it has made a difference.”

At EHN, counselors offer services at several different EHN locations. Our therapists can help those who struggle with eating disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD,) depression, anxiety, ADHD, family conflict, anger issues, grief and loss, self-esteem and other challenging life experiences.

IDD Learning Center

The EHN Day Rehabilitation location is a comprehensive Learning Center which allows EHN to provide services to its IDD clients at one centralized location. Recreational and pre-vocational activities are provided to help individuals such as Carlos Regalado, learn how to be more independent and active in the community.

Carlos’s mom says the staff at EHN has even helped her by giving her the support needed as a parent to assist a child with special needs. “My biggest challenge has been having to change my life to accommodate his, but I was surprised to find out that once he started at the EHN IDD DayHab Learning Center he was more independent than what I thought. I couldn’t imagine not having any services with EHN. Everything that EHN does is very essential for my son’s life.”

The curriculum at the IDD Learning Center also includes life skills lessons to encourage independence. “We have an area at the center where our clients can learn how to do laundry, make their bed, or even make a sandwich. This practice helps them to be self-sufficient, productive residents in our community in light of their diagnosis,” said Kristi Daugherty, CEO Emergence Health Network. “Our clients can also move between classrooms where they are engaged in such courses as math, science, writing, dance and art classes throughout the day.”
