TAG has launched a new program known as Therapeutic Integrative Care Services (TICS)
for those struggling with chronic illness.  Our staff works closely with health practitioners to
document ongoing client needs. TAG staff have completed training specific to working with
people diagnosed with chronic illness and their families:

·        Fibromyalgia
·        Chronic Fatigue
·        Multiple Chemical Sensitivity
·        Tick Borne Illness

Services are tailored to individual need, and include (but are not limited to) the following:

Care Management Services

·        Referral to integrative practitioners, specialist MD’s and related services
·        Facilitation of communications and outreach to practitioners on behalf of clients
·        Organizing medical documentation (lab reports, patient medical             
summaries/medical resume, etc.).
·        Small psycho-educational groups offer participants ongoing opportunities to become
more educated about new treatments and technologies, in addition to ways of adapting to
more healthy lifestyles.
·        Computer support (symptom and medication scheduler and compliance tracker,
navigation of online support networks)
·        Accompanying clients to doctor/practitioner appointments


Psychotherapy Services

·        Ongoing individual psychotherapy sessions are available, facilitated by a licensed
clinician who is literate in chronic illness (available in office and potentially online for clients
unable to leave their home).
·        Our group counseling service offers a private environment where people can form links
and gain support from other people whom are affected by chronic pathogenic illness. Groups
are led by social workers or psychotherapists.
·        Individual and group counseling services may be reimbursable by your medical coverage
provider.
