Treatment Plan 2 Eliza Treatment Plan From the documents presented after filling by Eliza, it is not immediately clear what condition the client is undergoing. The document required a bit of exploration and examination to help determine the diagnosis and the interventions appropriate for Eliza. Examination, therefore, would include further questioning of whether she had experienced similar feelings prior to joining college and if she can identify when she began feeling that way and being stressed. Answers provided to these questions would not only help in proper diagnosis but would also give insight on the best treatment plan. Eliza can also be engaged in a discussion that explores some of the highlights she has experienced in the recent past and the moments when she did not feel stressed or have an identity crisis and how long those moments lasted. The purpose of having that discussion would be to indicate the triggers and the root of the problem. Additionally, talking concerning her relationships such as parents, siblings, caregivers, friends and the even classmates would help in showing the status of her relationships. For instance, her frequency of seeing her family would also help in the process. As a therapist, the health of her relationships would be a significant illustration of the role played by the people close to Eliza and her diagnosis (PsychGuides, 2016). On the other hand, the interest she has in being with other people such as the desire to join clubs, associations, and societies on campus is helpful in the creation of an intervention plan. The choice of therapy relies heavily on the results obtained from the engagement and exploration with the therapist and Eliza. Eliza’s completed form on the Level 1 Cross-Cutting Measure contained crucial information on several areas of her life. In one of the questions, she sighted that she had decreased interest and loss of pleasure. Seeing that the feeling was previously absent, evaluating the possible reasons behind her loss in interest is a step towards acquiring her help. Conversely, E. Treatment Plan 3 Eliza suffers from anxiety, which leads her to avoid social situations. To combat her anxiety, she has to identify the situations that make her anxious and some of the ways she has used in dealing with her anxiety. These two objectives would help in replacing her intervention in reducing her anxiety and implementing ways that help her recover. Further investigation on the low selfesteem and identity crisis illustrated by the results would also be good in showing the relationship between her anxiety, self-esteem, and her relationships with her family and friends. For instance, finding out if her high school friendships were characterized by the same traits she is currently exhibiting would be vital for treatment planning. Change in environment, college stress and problems adjusting to a different routine were some of the challenges identified in Eliza’s completed form. Her burdens stem from the assignments and her inability to know what she wants out of life. These two elements have influenced her social life and her emotional wellbeing. On top of that, Eliza does not have a support system, and this further complicates her situation. In fact, the alcohol and drug use is not among her primary/fundamental problems. Eliza does not have a drug or alcohol dependency problem and her using these substances was a coping mechanism. Moreover, she used them with the aim of creating friendships in school and fit in the new life in college. Following all the information provides, exploration and examination of Eliza’s case, the diagnosis I made was that she has adjustment disorder and depressive disorder. The diagnosis was arrived at after careful consideration of the symptoms exhibited by Eliza and the information provided. Eliza would significantly benefit from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for both diagnoses (Leichsenring et al., 2014). The fundamental purpose is to reduce her symptoms and to help her shape a positive worldview. It will also help her in improving her relationships with family and friends. One of the intervention methods will be journaling whereby Eliza will be E. Treatment Plan 4 required to document how she feels throughout the week as a way of identifying the trigger and the oscillation of emotions. It is during therapy sessions that the entries to her journal will be evaluated and reviewed. Tips and techniques on how to handle the low points and other issues identified to form the journal review will be given. Furthermore, encouraging Eliza to perform outside of her comfort zones such as encouraging her to join clubs and associations in school will be a great boost to her mood and ability to make friendships in college. The therapy will be conducted for eight weeks and in each week, the period will be an hour. After completing the timeline, she can access therapy at will, and at any moment, she desires to do so. Conversely, her family and particularly her parents might require family counseling. The family counseling sessions will be effective in providing a platform for openness. Eliza will have the opportunity to tell her parents some of the challenges she is going through in college and this actions would help their strained relationships. Making use of the Level 2 Depression Cross-Cutting Measure would be critical in determining and monitoring depression-related symptoms in Eliza (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Change of the method used will be shown by the results from the level two measurement results. Monitoring of her progress will also be achieved through the Patient Health Questionnaire. The assessment point is in line with the goal of treatment in reducing Eliza's symptoms of depression. E. Treatment Plan 5 Part 2 Eliza Treatment Plan Report Eliza a college student aged 18 years old in her freshman year got into trouble with the school authorities. She is of Caucasian descent with a lean body and of average height studying engineering at the school. Her parent’s home is approximately two hours away from the college, and thus Eliza can visit whenever she likes. Eliza went for counseling following an event that took place in her dorm room a few days before. Eliza and friends in her dorm room were caught with alcohol which is illegal since her school is an alcohol-free zone. She admitted to having partaken in alcohol but because her friends were also taking alcohol. She also claimed having felt tipsy or using her word buzzed while her friends were drunk. The treatment plan is reliable since it focusses on the problem areas of the client. The client has issues with her relationships and also suffers from social anxiety. Moreover, they have stresses in school that has led them to withdraw from people thus unable to make friends. Change in environment, college stress and problems adjusting to a different routine were some of the challenges identified in Eliza’s completed form. Her burdens stem from the assignments and her inability to know what she wants out of life. Eliza would significantly benefit from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for both diagnoses. The fundamental purpose is to reduce her symptoms and to help her shape a positive worldview. It will also help her in improving her relationships with family and friends. One of the intervention methods will be journaling whereby Eliza will be required to document how she feels throughout the week as a way of identifying the trigger and the oscillation of emotions. It is during therapy sessions that the entries to her journal will be evaluated and reviewed. Tips and E. Treatment Plan 6 techniques on how to handle the low points and other issues identified to form the journal review will be given. Furthermore, encouraging Eliza to perform outside of her comfort zones such as encouraging her to join clubs and associations in school will be a great boost to her mood and ability to make friendships in college. The therapy will be conducted for eight weeks and in each week, the period will be an hour. Eliza is experiencing several problems as mentioned but the treatment plan chosen is appropriate to help her achieve the goals she has set. Her wellbeing is put at the forefront and is a primary objective in the process. The cognitive behavior therapy is more hand on and a more practical approach based on the findings. It is used to treat a series of issues in a client and thus achieve more than if the treatment plan was subdivided treating each issue separately. The plan adheres to the ethical policies and regulations and therefore does not affect the client negatively. Some of the benefits associated with the use of cognitive behavior therapy include significant reduction of depression symptoms, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Additionally, it also improves the client’s confidence and self-esteem. The changes to the treatment plan mean that the treatment period will take longer than expected. The number of the session will be increased, and there will also be an increase in monitoring the client’s progress. For instance, requiring Eliza’s family to have a session with her means that the treatment plan will be divided as such that Eliza has independent sessions and later sessions with her family. Evaluation of the resources available to make a referral would be conducted by assessing my skills set and identifying areas that I am less competent and equipped for such that the referral is competent in those areas. The discussion would also be done with the client to E. Treatment Plan 7 communicate the fact that referrals would help her recover and achieve her goals. Follow up of the referrals made after the client has transitioned to the other treatment plan is also necessary. Explanation to the client for the need to do referrals would be done by explaining the importance of receiving help from a qualified professional. Therapists should seek supervision when the cases they are working with fall outside of their scope, and they need the help of an experienced therapist to solve the case. Another instance that may warrant the need for supervision of therapists is when the client is dangerous or when the therapists are not able to remain professional and become too invested in the case. Supervisions enable the therapists to carry out their duties within the scope of professionalism and ensure the safety of both the therapist and the client. Apart from having a supervisor in some cases, another important aspect I want to develop as a therapist is to increase my awareness of diversity when working with clients. The referrals that I would suggest to the client are concerning their inability to form relationships with family and friends. The referrals would be a therapist that is equipped in the area of relationships. Using case conceptualization techniques would be a critical way of assessing the client. Collecting and analyzing this information is crucial to understanding the client and forming collaborations that enable them to achieve set objectives and goals. Any patterns of the client’s mental illness if present can be determined by use of different methods. For the counselor to be able to identify the areas that will provide information concerning the patterns of mental illness in a client, they first have to establish trust and clear communication. This confidence can be built on the first interaction at this moment the client will have an exchange that takes the form of an interview. For instance, the counselor can gather from the client’s presentation how the E. Treatment Plan 8 client perceives their world. Comparison between healthy perception and any patterns of illness can be recognized, but further information would be required (Fulkerson, 2015). Information not provided by the client can be sourced from the forms filled such as demographic information, social, historical, cultural contexts of the client (Schwitzer & Rubin, 2015). E.

SUMMARY STATEMENT

2

Demonstrate whether or not the client met the goals of the treatment plan.
Incorporation of the treatment plans identified earlier helped minimize Eliza’s symptoms.
As a result, the treatment plan was effective and helped in the recovery of the client. One of
Eliza’s goals was to learn how to deal with social anxiety experienced due to motivators such as
change of environment, college stressors, as well as issues adjusting in the new routine.
Additionally, Eliza was also influenced into drinking by the fact that her friends were drinking
and she felt left out. As a result, another one of her goals was to learn how to resist peer
influence without feeling left out. Through the use of the cognitive behavioral therapy, Eliza was
able to learn to minimize her social anxiety that led to the achievement of her primary goal in the
session. Further, the use of family therapy and setting healthy boundaries helped Eliza achieve
her goal of improving relationships. This intervention helped her learn how to resist influence
into unhealthy habits such as dr...
