The primary counseling style is Motivational Interviewing (MI) which is a non-judgmental, non-confrontational and non-adversarial approach used to increase the awareness of the potential problems caused, consequences experienced, and risks faced as a result of an individuals behavior.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used in individual and group sessions as it has been demonstrated to be effective for the treatment of a variety of conditions commonly identified in justice-involved individuals, such as personality and substance abuse disorders.
Onsite core groups include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gender Responsive Treatment and Substance Abuse Education and Relapse Prevention.
Enhancement groups include: Culture Centered Coaching and Mentoring, Anger Management, Life Skills, Education and Parenting.

Participant Feedback
What was your experience in the program?
The program was a great learning experience. I learned a lot of good things about myself. Just because I’ve done bad doesn’t mean that I am bad. I can always change who I am as a person.
Thank you to the TDRC for helping me get to this point. This is the first time I’ve been off probation since I was 11. It’s been a long journey and I thank you for going through it with me.
Participant J. W.
What was your experience in the program?
It was all good for me and I liked everything about it. The individual journals helped me grow. It all depends on the person and if they really want to change. I just want to say thanks to the program—you guys helped me a lot.

How did the program help you with problems you were facing?
The program provided me with much needed resources and referrals, and also helped me to recognize my old behaviors and how to change my thinking to change my negative behaviors.
Participant M.R.
What were some of the tools you learned in classes and how are you using them today?
I learned how to substitute bad thoughts and behaviors with new ones by using the tools I’ve learned from the classes at the TDRC program.
