About Evergreen Counseling Associates Who We Are With over 20 years in the substance abuse counseling field, Evergreen Counseling Associates is known for compassionate, respectful care. Clients work consistently with the same counselor, ensuring continuity. We receive referrals from courts, attorneys, Driver Intervention Programs, employers, EAPs, and treatment centers. Why We Started At a time when local options were limited, Evergreen was founded to offer: Flexible outpatient counseling beyond inpatient and IOP models Private, self-pay services for those not using insurance Affordable care for the uninsured Access to experienced substance abuse counselors What We Do We offer individualized and group counseling tailored to each client’s needs, focusing on alcohol and marijuana issues. Our approach is non-confrontational and supportive—never "one-size-fits-all." Who We Serve Our clients are typically individuals facing charges such as OVI, Reckless Operation, or Marijuana OVI. Many seek help with alcohol or marijuana use, not heavier substances. Our Services Most clients complete a short-term program that includes: Assessment Education groups Individual counseling Optional 12-Step meeting attendance Plans are customized to each person's circumstances. Our Focus We specialize in alcohol and marijuana issues. Clients often appreciate the relatable focus, without the intensity of programs addressing opiate or other drug addictions. What Clients Say“Thank you for treating me with respect—not judging me.”“I didn’t think this would help, but it really has.”“Your kindness and encouragement made a real difference.”“I felt like a person, not just a problem.” (See more on our Reviews page.)
What our scope is: We primarily deal with alcohol and marijuana abuse issues while leaving opiate addiction (and similar drugs) to providers more equipped to address those needs. Some clients have expressed relief to learn that Evergreen's primary focus is on alcohol and marijuana and not on heavier drugs. Clients find that they can relate more to the specific scenarios presented while addressing their own alcohol/marijuana issues.
How clients see us: Feedback we consistently get from clients include: ◆ "Thank you for treating me with respect. Thank you for not judging me." ◆ "I didn't think I could benefit from this, but you have really helped me." ◆ "Thank you for your kindness and encouragement! It's made a difference in my life!" ◆ I was treated as I was important and not just another person "with a habit". (See our Reviews page for more feedback responses)
