Our Services
Individuals
Sometimes life becomes overwhelming and unmanageable. Individual counseling is one of the best investments we can make in ourselves, because it involves learning new skills and techniques that help us understand the world around us. Talking with a therapist can often be just the nudge we need to take that next step towards healing. The Counseling Center of Great Lakes aims to ease emotional burdens while walking alongside you as you find hope and healing.
Couples/Families
Dr. Matt Allison is both a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. His passion is working with couples and his mantra is that no relationship is beyond hope. From a Family System’s Perspective, Matt helps couples and families see how individualistic behaviors affect the family system as a whole.
Premarital
When preparing for marriage, love is a great place to start - but it’s not the end point to a successful marriage.

Guided by the #1 premarital and marriage assessment, Prepare and Enrich, our clinicians will help you start your marriage off on the right foot.

STANDARD NOTICE
“Right to Receive a Good Faith Estimate of Expected Charges” Under the No Surprises Act
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least one business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
