I've known Jennie Wilson for over 5 years, she is an innovative, tech-savvy child therapist who understands what it takes to support both kids and the therapists who work with them. My experience has been that the same spirit runs through Step By Step Counseling. The practice is thoughtful, forward-thinking, and committed to helping children, families, and clinicians grow together. They blend strong clinical work with creative, real-world tools that actually make a difference. And a special shout-out to Pathways to Play, a beautiful resource that supports meaningful, play-based healing for kids and growth for the clinicians who serve them. This team is doing important, heartfelt work.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

THEY DECIDED TO STOP COUNSELING OUR CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY KNOW OUR CHILDREN BETTER AND OUR DAUGHTER SUFFERS FROM ANXIETY AND THEY DIDN'T LIKE IT THAT I WANTED TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH HER. THEY HAVE MORE THAN ONE THERAPIST THAT COULD HAVE TALKED WITH THE CHILDREN AND BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT ONE AND BECAUSE WE DON'T LIVE CLOSER TO THEM OUR CHILDREN NO LONGER HAVE ANY HELP EXCEPT THEIR PSYCHIATRIST THEY HAVE NO CONSIDERATION
