Our Therapy

No one starts out with a plan to become addicted to a substance that will destroy their life. Most people have used substances as maladaptive coping for emotional or physical pain, or both. This triad (pain, trauma, and substances) is seen very often in treatment. We provide outpatient care for those in mild to moderate use & without  withdrawal. 

First responders, no matter the color of their badge, are under tremendous stress and may encounter vicarious and complex trauma that impacts them and their families in surprising ways. Veterans, active military, first responders - please let us know upon intake. Call for after hours appointments.

If you are under 18 years of age, you are not legally able to consent to treatment, and consent must be obtained from a parent or guardian. Minors under the age of 18 must understand that parents' may have access to records based on law. In general, we ask parents that they agree to give up access to your records. If they agree, we will provide them only with general information about our work together, unless there is a high risk of harm to yourself or someone else. In this case, HATS Counseling will discuss their concerns about your safety with your parents. If possible, counseling staff will discuss the matter with you before giving your parents any information and do our best to handle any objections you may have about this conversation.  I hereby agree to counseling/treatment/assessment/consultation at HATS Counseling.

I understand I may address any questions regarding this consent with a counselor. I also understand that this consent will remain in effect until I am no longer a client, and that I have the right to later revoke my consent. If I do not sign this consent, or later revoke it, HATS Counseling may decline to provide services to me.
