Alliance Counseling Associates runs an office in Springfield, Missouri, one of five locations the practice keeps across the southwest part of the state. Springfield is its group therapy site, with group work listed as the service provided from this office and clients coming from several surrounding counties. Alliance Counseling Associates has been in operation for more than 20 years.
Group Therapy in Springfield
Group therapy is what this office is set up to deliver. Group work places a person alongside others moving through similar difficulties, so part of what helps comes from the other people in the room rather than from the counselor alone. Clients travel in from several counties rather than only the immediate area, and sessions are outpatient, meaning people keep their jobs and home routines while attending.
The Wider Practice
Alliance Counseling Associates as a whole provides more than group work. Across its offices, services include substance use assessment and treatment, individual, family, and couples counseling, trauma-focused therapy including EMDR, a technique used to help people process distressing memories, and parenting skills instruction and classes, along with court-referred programs such as anger management and a batterer intervention program. The practice’s other four locations are in Branson, Aurora, Reeds Spring, and Cassville.
