Director: Stan Lepard, M.Ed, LPC, NCC

Welcome to our website!  Here you will find what you need to know about our counseling services, including information about our staff experience and their credentials, our approach to counseling, services offered, group therapy and class schedules, fees, directions to our office and more.  We are dedicated to providing services that are affordable, convenient and effective as possible.  We have a passion for the work we do and we want to help you make the most of your counseling experience.

If you’re here because you are required by the court to attend an evaluation and / or treatment, I can only imagine how you must feel.  If you’re like many we see each day who are referred by the court, you are feeling overwhelmed with fees, appointments, juggling the demands of work and family, time consuming errands and the fear of the legal consequences if you don’t comply.  I am writing this letter to you because it is my hope that you will be able to see our service as more than just another hoop to jump through.  We are not the judge, the police, the DFCS caseworker, probation officer or others who make such demands on you.  Our job is to help you through this difficult time with the support, guidance, skills and emotional healing to take your life in a more positive direction. 

Perhaps you have a history of troubled relationships, a problem managing your anger, a drinking or drug problem, low self esteem, depression or anxiety.  I am convinced that life has a way of getting our good attention at times to bring about positive change.  Do you see such a pattern in your life?  If so, now is a good time to stop running and take advantage of this time to work on you.  If you must do it anyway, why not make the most of it.  The programs described in this site can offer you an opportunity to participate in a safe, supportive environment to work on your issues with the help of a trained professional. Others have made the commitment and experienced a positive change.  I hope you will to. 

Feel free to look around our website and contact us with questions, comments or to schedule an appointment.  I wish you well through this difficult time and your life journey!
 

Most Sincerely,
Stan Lepard, LPC
