Take back control of your life with compassionate, professional support.

Addiction is not a personal failure — it’s a complex struggle that affects your mind, body, and relationships. Whether you’re facing substance use, behavioral addictions, or the lingering effects of dependency, The Summit Counseling Center is here to walk alongside you. Our licensed therapists offer individualized, evidence-based care in a safe, judgment-free environment.

  • Experience guilt, shame, or isolation around your behavior
  • Want to maintain recovery and prevent relapse
