Christopher Aaron Counseling Center is committed to welcome, identify, engage, and serve individuals with co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. Our programs provide services that incorporate understanding of substance abuse problems as they relate to and affect the mental health disorder. We strive to provide individuals with a better understanding and self-awareness, increase self-sufficiency and develop a greater independence. The benefits from counseling may be an improved ability to relate with others; a clearer understanding of self, values, goals; increased academic productivity; and an ability to deal with everyday stress. All services are provided from a “strengths based” model and including building natural supports.
