Advanced Counseling

Advanced Counseling helps people facing mental health and substance use challenges. They begin with assessments, including interviews and written tests, to understand each person's history and needs. This helps create a treatment plan that fits the individual. As a small, independently owned center, they offer personalized care.
The center provides 45-minute one-on-one therapy sessions to focus on personal goals. It also offers group therapy at different levels of support. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets 3 times a week to help clients build long-term recovery skills. A less frequent outpatient program supports those further along in their progress. A relapse prevention group helps clients stay on track by teaching healthy habits and building support networks.
Additionally, Advanced Counseling offers unique services for estate planning, working with families and attorneys to ensure that financial support from a trust does not enable or worsen substance use disorder. While most services are in person, they provide some virtual options, like comprehensive assessments, for those who live farther away or have specific needs. This flexibility helps them create a personalized treatment plan for every client.
