How can Great Lakes Therapy Center help you?

 

Many of our clients are transitioning from residential programs, PHP or IOP programs back into their day to day routines. We structure treatment to be supportive of those transitions and aim to prevent return to higher level of care. We also frequently work with clients who have found other forms of therapy ineffective and are interested in a more intensive approach.

In network with BCBS PPO and offering out of pocket rates for all services.

 
 

Our Values

Providing an inclusive and affirming environment regardless of race, religious background, sexuality, gender identification or class. Holding ourselves accountable to do the lifelong work of reducing our own biases and ignorances.
