Aspire Counseling Services

"Aspire creates a wonderful community. I'm grateful that I was able to heal on my own schedule and continue to attend alumni group."

"Life changing program. The counselors and curriculum set you up for success. Like with anything you are still the one who need to do the work to change your life, but Aspire gives you valuable tools to deal with anxiety and depression as well as overcoming addiction. Gabe, Jacob, Ethan, and Lacey are just a few of the amazing people you will encounter on your journey to a happier and more healthy life."

"I went into Aspire Counseling Services in San Luis Obispo after I had a suicide attempt. I went in to work on my depression and anxiety I had no previous experience with therapy and didn't know what to expect. As soon as I walked in the door I was met with love and compassion , most importantly, I was met with understanding. You see at Aspire it's like a family, you have brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers like you've never known before. Everyone there is working together to help lift you up. If you put in the work and stick with their program then you can attain the results you're looking for. I personally went through the process twice. The first time after a suicide attempt, the second time after I knew that I needed help."

"This place is amazing. The kindness and caring from all the staff is beyond what anyone could expect from a treatment facility. They go above and beyond to help their clients by giving them the necessary tools and support. What I found most remarkable about this team of caregivers is that from the moment we walked in the door, they made us feel like we mattered. The compassion shows with their interactions with clients AND their families. If you need help and if you need to know you matter, this is the right place for you. Compassion, empathy, and support are the true cornerstone to making recovery from addiction or mental health issues successful, and every member of the staff at Aspire has all those attributes. We feel very fortunate to have found them."

"Whether starting in their PHP or IOP program you will certainly feel welcomed here! I am eternally grateful for the Aspire team for my peers in Aspire as well. Not only did they exceed my expectations for what I was hoping to get out of group therapy, they also made it a very enjoyable experience through various activities - some which were super fun and others that were actually pretty tough and raw. I am thankful of how patient, kind, and caring the staff is and will recommend to anyone I know who may benefit from this program. Thank you for holding a safe space not only for me, but many others!"
