What inspired you to start your own business?
At the MK Center our root focus is to assist you in building and developing your mental fitness. Much of our society focuses on physical fitness which is one third of our general makeup. At the MK Center we focus on developing your mental capacity in order to address and handle the problems you face from day-to-day. We also assist you in discovering your spiritual base and guiding you in developing a solid spiritual base that is comparable to your goals in life. Comparable to physical fitness, mental fitness requires commitment and consistent work to achieve the goals that you have established for yourself. It is our belief that greatness lies beneath each individual and unlocking that greatness requires self-discovery, commitment, and discipline. We look forward to assisting you in becoming the best you that you can be.
Individual Therapy Sessions
Individual Therapy is an opportunity to meet with a therapist one-on-one within a safe and confidential environment to examine issues within the privacy of a psychotherapeutic session. Individual counseling provides “therapeutic intimacy” to discuss relationship issues, childhood issues, or problems surfacing due to or made worse by the use of alcohol or other mind or mood altering substances.
Group Counseling
Groups offer a unique space for healing and sharing with others in a similar situation, a mirroring of experiences that may not be as available in individual therapy. The MK Center prides itself on making therapy accessible and affirmative for all people. Clients are always embraced with honesty, compassion, sincerity, and professionalism. Our client-centered approach cultivates an atmosphere rich in healing, acceptance, growth that helps each client move through the stages of change.
Faith/Christian Counseling
In faith-based counseling, we use practical applications of the Christian Bible to assist individuals in balancing their day-to-day challenges with the Word of God. Many believers struggle with the practical application of Scripture and integrating the Word of God into their day-to-day lives. At The MK-Center we assist individuals in understanding how to live out of their Christian principles on a day-to-day basis.
Drug Offender Education Program
The standardized program is 15 hours in length and is designed to increase the knowledge of drug offenders by educating them on the dangers of drug abuse and associated illegal activities, to identify their own individual drug-use patterns, and to assist them in developing a personal action plan which will reduce the probability of suffering the consequences of future drug using and illegal behavior.
Specific course topics include history of drug abuse, drug/DWI laws, dynamics of drug use, drugs of abuse, how drugs work, cost of use and abuse, health issues, HIV, interpersonal relationships, deglamorization of drugs, values and behaviors, past and desired behaviors, getting control of your life, resource options, and personal action planning.
Family Counseling
Relationships are an integral part of our day-to-day life, managing these relationships can provide challenges for individuals who are in conflict with their surroundings. Our Family Counseling helps both individuals and couples sort through the obstacles that are causing friction and discord. Through teaching skills in effective communication, problem solving, and allowing each individual to gain a greater sense of self, we assist couples in obtaining the skills that are needed to have and be in a successful family system.
