- the evangel house difference

Evangel House Christian Academy is unique in its integration of professional therapeutic services with christian, biblical values.  Christian principles are foundational to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of students.

- christian counseling

Individual, family and group therapy interventions are structured within the Evangel House ® Levels process. This state of the art levels system challenges students to work beyond symptom improvement.  The unique Evangel House ® approach leads students to maturity, insight, and self-awareness.  This Spirit-led therapeutic approach incorporates:

• Professional Assessment, Diagnosis, and Treatment Planning
• Weekly Individual Therapy
• Weekly Group Therapy
• Parent & Family Therapy
• Weekly Therapeutic Emphasis Groups
• The Unique Evangel House Levels System
• Experiential Family Therapy Retreats

- psychological testing

The EHCA extensive evaluation process uses psycho-educational testing to clarify diagnosis, educational needs, and long-term treatment planning.   Testing is provided by our christian psychologist Dr. Lynn Aurich, PhD.  Assessments include:

• Conner's' Continuous Performance Test - II
• Woodcock - Johnson III Tests for Achievement
• Minnesota Mulitphasic Personality Inventory - Adolescent
• Test of Memory Malingering
• Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children
• School Motivation and Learning Strategies Inventory
• Beck Depression Inventory
• Beck Anxiety Inventory

- medication management

Many students have medication needs for mild forms of depression, anxiety, ADHD, or bi-polar disorder.  Some students are misdiagnosed and have complicated situations as a result.  Students with such needs have the benefit of long-term medication evaluation and diagnostic feedback with our adolescent specialist psychiatrist.   We work very closely with Dr. Phillip Lafleur, M.D. on an outpatient basis to provide structured medication interventions that are closely monitored by EHCA staff.  Parents are always involved in this process and speak directly with the doctor by teleconference at each visit.
