About Changes Counseling and
Changes Counseling and Consultation offers outpatient mental health care and treatment for substance use for individuals and families. The center supports both people who choose to seek services voluntarily and those who have court-ordered requirements. Their clinicians help clients address addiction and related challenges such as domestic violence, trauma, anger, grief, and ongoing family conflict. Sessions are provided by licensed therapists in English and Spanish, and many services are available online to make treatment easier to access. The overall aim is to support improved emotional well-being, healthier relationships, and long-term personal progress.
Their work combines evidence-based methods with care, dignity, and respect. Approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and moral reconation therapy assist clients in identifying and changing damaging thought patterns, strengthening personal responsibility, and developing healthier coping skills. Treatment may include group, individual, or family therapy depending on each client’s needs, helping create a supportive environment for healing and real change. They also provide structured programs that promote emotional regulation, parenting support, and recovery from substance use.
Clients may participate in specialized, organized offerings such as PRIME for Life, anger management groups, and advanced parenting seminars. Additional supports like random drug testing and bilingual counseling help reinforce accountability while ensuring services are accessible to Spanish-speaking individuals as well. For clients involved in court matters, Changes Counseling provides licensed evaluations and tailored treatment plans designed to meet legal expectations. They also offer affordable services and accept Medicaid, helping more people receive the recovery support they need.
