Our Mission
in providing a holistic approach to healing, wellness, & recovery
At Premier Counseling, we are dedicated to guiding individuals on their path to healing with compassion, authenticity, and deep respect for the human journey. Whether navigating substance use, mental health challenges, or patterns of relational harm, we offer a space where transformation is rooted in love, self-discovery, and meaningful connection.
We believe healing is not about fixing what is broken, but remembering what has always been whole. Our integrated, trauma-informed approach supports mind, body, and spirit—honoring each person's unique story while empowering them to release old patterns, build emotional awareness, and cultivate healthier ways of being.
At Premier, we walk beside our clients with unwavering presence, helping them move from cycles of pain towards a life grounded in wholeness, empathy, and truth.
Substance Use Philosophy
Every treatment center has their own unique approach to health and wellbeing. There are many paths to the top of the mountain, each one just as good as the other, Premier Counseling’s approach is also unique. At Premier, we believe that the substance use is just a symptom of something deeper. The drug/alcohol use is just an outward projection of an inward condition.
At Premier, it’s not so much about recovery (re-covering), it’s about uncovering or discovering your truth, shedding all of the layers of conditioning only to find that you are not broken, you could never be broken, you are Wholeness, when you remove all of the layers you start to remember who you really are. This is not a process of finding; this is a process of remembering. This is the path of remembering that you are love, underneath all of the illusion, you are pure love. At Premier, we invite you to take this journey, it is our job to walk beside you and support you as you walk this path.
About Us
Growth from Humble Beginnings
In September 2013, Premier Counseling was born from nothing more than a hope and a dream. With no financial backing or personal funds to lean on, we took our very first steps thanks to the belief of a parent who loaned us just enough for our first month’s rent. That act of faith launched an incredible journey.
Our first office was tucked away above an accountant’s suite, reachable only by a narrow staircase. The walls? Flamingo pink—and not in a charming way. It wasn’t much, but it was ours.
In those early days, our services were limited—mostly focused on Prime for Life—while Ryan worked toward his Substance Use Disorder Counseling license and later, a Master’s degree. We didn’t have a grand plan; we had heart, humility, and a deep desire to help.
Looking back, we never imagined we’d be where we are today. What started with three people and a vision has grown into a thriving team of some of the best professionals in the field. Time and again, we’ve found ourselves in the right place at the right time, surrounded by people who believe in our mission.
We know one thing for sure: we didn’t build this alone. Premier Counseling was shaped by the love, support, and trust of our incredible recovery community. Your belief in us has carried us through every milestone.
As we celebrate over ten years of service, our hearts are full of gratitude. Thank you for letting us walk beside you. Thank you for helping us grow. And thank you for making this journey as meaningful as it has been.
Here’s to the next chapter—together.

“Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.”
