Advocate Counseling

Our programs are designed to work with males and females of any age. We primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy and add eclectic mixes of evidence based therapies that allow us to effectively meet the client where they are at in their life.  Our design is to assist the client with substance abuse treatment, life skills development, medical needs, psychological needs and spiritual growth.  Outpatient treatment is less structured and generally these services are on a one on one basis.
