About The Link Counseling Center
Here, you’ll find individual, group, and family counseling sessions. Something special about this facility is that your sessions will be held on the beautiful Kendeda Campus. This is a peaceful place filled with open fields, gardens, and buildings dedicated to personal growth and healing. This location offers something for everyone, including a brightly colored play space for the youngest clients.
The entire campus feels safe, warm, and supportive. In addition to individual and family sessions, they also offer free grief therapy sessions every week. You can participate in counseling for as long as you need to, and they offer short, medium, or long term psychotherapy programs.
If you prefer to get involved with a group, there are many options based on specific needs and populations. Right now, they’re offering an LGBTQ+ support group, a group based on expressive art therapy, and a group for female survivors of childhood abuse.
A former client says she’s very thankful for this affordable therapy option and especially appreciates the sliding scale. Another says she’s grateful a place like this exists, and that she found a good fit with her therapist.

I was referred here by a doctor I work for because I found my son using drugs. Jeff really gave me great insight on how to handle the situation from an emotional/parental standpoint. I have sent many people to The Link.
The Link Counseling Center has served as a sanctuary to me for the past 10 years. I started coming here when I was 7 and enjoyed doing art/play therapy. Years later as a 20 years old, I gained an internship there where I enjoy learning how to speak to clients and sympathize with them! This experience is preparing me for my career in the psychology field!
The Link Counseling Center has been a sanctuary for my daughter through different stages of her life. When she was just a few years old and struggling with anxiety due to my divorce, she found comfort in her play therapy sessions. To her, it felt like an art class where she could play with all the toys, and she cherished the idea of having a grown-up friend. Over time, her anxiety eased, and the sessions became a source of joy and healing.
Years later, I brought her back, this time as a safe space where she could freely express herself without hesitation. Once again, Link Counseling provided exceptional care. The staff is kind, compassionate, and incredibly accommodating, working with families regardless of their financial situation. The center itself feels like a sanctuary-calm, safe, and welcoming.
Thanks to the support and guidance she received at the Link Counseling, my daughter has grown into a resilient young woman who now strives to heal others. I am forever grateful for the impact this place has had on her journey. I highly recommend Link Counseling to any family in need of compassionate, professional support.

Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
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.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
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.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
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.
