Positive Steps treats addiction, anger, domestic violence, abuse, and trauma, including court-referred cases. Office-based services give individuals and families structured guidance for daily behavior change.

Support Growth Through Guidance

Care at Positive Steps includes individual counseling, group therapy, and educational classes led by certified counselors. Services cover anger management, addiction counseling, family support, and guidance for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and stress. Faith-informed principles guide counseling conversations around responsibility, coping skills, and healthier daily decisions without medical or residential treatment.

Provide Structure For Stability

Positive Steps runs court-certified domestic violence and anger management programs, adult children of alcoholics groups, and services for justice-involved clients. Evening classes expand access, while sliding-scale fees help clients manage costs. Community roots dating back to 1999 reflect steady service to children, adults, and families across life stages.
