If you need to be where people are real ,people who respect you and your situation ,who aren't going to demand anything from you, this is the place to be. You won't change because they say you have to , they won't say that , you'll change because you are encouraged with respect and understanding. It's all put in very simple format and in a very relaxed atmosphere. I learned so much , things that are so simple to do but make all the difference in the world .I will forever be grateful for the people who helped me get my life manageable , I feel like I am in control of myself again . I feel happy again ,thank you Jason ,thank you alternative counseling.

Great counseling service that works towards actually helping their clients. I’ve been to STOP and ACTS, and they treat just as another number; and they’re more focused on these required classes being a punishment rather a rehabilitation.Alternative is upfront about their costs ($50 per class or $200/month; it was $360/month at ACTS to just watch YouTube), they’re great with making sure you meet all of your requirements, they’re excellent with making sure the correct paperwork makes it to the correct people, and everyone has been a pleasure to work with. Trent is great with getting the paperwork done, Audrey is an amazing counselor, and Betty is hilarious!It might take awhile to get an assessment, but Audrey is well worth it. They’re busy for a good reason! Thank you to everyone at Alternative Counseling.

Absolutely the best counseling I have received. Especially dealing with serious legal matters and they are understanding. They really do care about helping out their clients and will do what they can to help. In the end, only the person who truly wants the help is able to change. Compared to other programs/organizations that are demeaning, dismissive, and overall just trying to bring down an individual. Alternative Counselings philosophy of rebuilding/helping is through a firm but practical approach. The classes and people there are supportive which is exactly how to encourage growth within a person. Can't thank them enough and hope this review helps others as it did for me 🙏
